Q Q&A Why are the blood pressure values measured at home different from those measured at the doctor's 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 coat 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 doctor's office, the following can be considered. Please pay attention to these points when taking measurements. Is the pressure cuff wrapped firmly? • Make sure that the pressure cuff is not wrapped too loosely or too tightly. • Is the pressure cuff wrapped around the upper arm? Make sure it is not partly covering the elbow. For how to wrap the pressure cuff correctly, refer to p. 12. Were you worries or upset during measurements? Before taking measurements, take 2 or 3 deep breaths and relax to stabilize blood pressure. In addition, it is recommended that you sit quietly for about 4 to 5 minutes before taking measurements. 20
