This chart is only a general guideline. Please contact your physician to determine
your NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure can be influenced by many factors. This change can occur from
moment to moment. Normally, blood pressure is lowest during the sleeping
period and rises during the day. The graph below represents the variations in
blood pressure shown over a day with measurements taken every 5 minutes.
