What Influences Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is much like glucose levels or pulse in the respect that it can (and will) vary depending on both internal and external factors, all day long.
Supporting Healthier Tomorrows
BIOS Medical is dedicated to supplying you with reliable blood pressure monitors.
What does this mean?
Blood pressure is much like glucose levels or pulse in the respect that it can (and will) vary depending on both internal and external factors, all day long. This is why it is very common to have variation in your readings. This is also why it is important to average your readings across the day to establish an average.
Here are some of the factors that can influence a reading:
01BP medication
02Other medications
03Eating
04Caffeine
05Alcohol
06Smoking
07Recent physical activity
08Urge to go to the bathroom
09Time of Day
10Asleep or awake
11Hormones
12Mental stress or emotions
13Apprehension or tension
14Not resting adequately before measurement
15Pain
16Hot tubs, baths or showers
17Moving or talking during measurement
18Environment - temperature

GET THE RIGHT SIZE CUFF
Cuff Sizing is Extremely Important for Accuracy
Always follow manufacturers instructions. Both sides of the cuff Velcro should be in full contact with each other, and your cuff should always be on your non-dominant arm, unless your blood pressure is consistently higher on your dominant arm. In that case always measure on the side with higher readings. An undersized cuff will overestimate BP values.
