Measuring your own blood pressure is an important way of
monitoring your health. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a
major health problem which can be treated effectively once
detected.
Measuring your blood pressure between doctor visits on a regular
basis in the comfort of your home, and keeping a record of the
measurements, will help you monitor any significant changes in
your blood pressure. Keeping an accurate record of your blood
pressure will help your doctor diagnose and possibly prevent any
health problems in the future.
INTRODUCTION
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises
sharply in the early morning and declines during the late morning.
Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and finally drops to a
low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time.
Therefore, readings from successive measurements can fluctuate.

Blood pressure measured in a doctor's office only provides a
momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect
one's actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they
measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than
when in the doctor's office. Regular blood pressure measurements
taken at home can provide your doctor with valuable information
on your normal blood pressure values under actual "everyday"
conditions.
