Normal variations of your blood pressure

Manyfactorsinfluenceyourbloodpressuresuchasphysicalexercises,excitement,stress,
nutrition, drinking, smoking and other activities (including measuring your blood pres-
sure). For this reason you almost never get the same results.
Your blood pressure is subject to permanent variations – day and night. The highest values
are usually in the day, the lowest usually at midnight. Usually your blood pressure starts
increasing after 3 a.m. and reaches its highest value in the daytime when you are awake
and active.
For this reason we recommend to measure your blood pressure every day at the same time
under the same circumstances. Please relax 3 to 5 minutes between the measurements so
that your blood circulation can start again in your arm. It is very rare that you get identic
measured values when you measure your blood pressure several times subsequently.
