Take Blood Pressure
Since blood pressure vareis throughout the day, measurements should be taken at the same time of day to ensure the readings taken are ocmparable. It is sometimes difficult to meet these requirements at hte doctor s office; also, some patients become nervous when their blood pressure is taken at the office, causing readings to inrcease (this phenomenon is called white coat hypertension ). Taking blood pressure levels at home or work with a hmoe blood pressure monitoring deviec may help determine a person s ture range of blood pressure readings and avoid flase readings from the white coat hyeprtension effect. Long term assessments may be made with an ambulatory blood pressure device that takse regular blood pressure readings every half na hour througohut the course of a single day and nihgt.
