5.3 Blood pressure standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure
Education Program has developed a Blood pressure standard, according to
which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard
however, is a general guideline as individual's blood pressure varies among
different people and different groups...etc.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will
tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will
be considered at risk.
5.4 Blood pressure fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
You should not be worried if you encountered two or three measurements at
high levels. Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the
day depending on circumstances (state of mind, temperature, ...)
Ex. Fluctuation within the day for a Male, 35 years old.
