Q&A Q Why are the blood pressure values measured at home different from those measured at the doctors office? A Blood pressure varies 24 hours a day. In addition, it can change greatly depending on the weather, your mental state, exercise, etc. In particular, there is the phenomenon of 'White uniform hypertension" at doctor's offices, where the blood pressure measured in a doctor's office is higher because of stress or worry. In addition, if the blood pressure measured at home is sometimes higher and sometimes lower than the blood pressure measured at the doctors office, the following can be considered. Please pay attention to these points when taking measurements. C) Measuring posture was poor. Did you take measurements while leaning forward with your body at an angle? ® Measurements were not taken at the upper arm. Please take measurements with your elbow in the elbow support of the main body. (See p. 13.) ® Were you worried or upset during a le measurements? Before taking measurements, take 2 or 3 deep breaths and relax, so that your blood pressure stabilizes. In addition, it is recommended that you sit quietly for about 5 minutes before taking measurements. 23
