A. WHO blood pressure classifications:
Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure
without regard to age, have been established by the World
Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart.
However this chart is not exact for classification of blood
pressure and it's intended to be used as a guide in un-
derstanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements.
Please consult with your physician for proper diagnosis.
B. Variations in blood pressure:
Individual blood pressures vary greatly both on a daily
and a seasonal basis. These variations are even more
pronounced in hyper tense patients.
Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at
its lowest during sleeping period.
(hyper tense: means a person who has high blood
pressure symptom.)
The graph below illustrated the variations in blood pres-
sure over a whole day with measurement taken every five
minutes.
The thick line represents sleep. The rise in blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12 PM (B in the graph)
correspond to an attack of pain.

nor in a place outside humidity ranges (15% ~ 93% R.H.), and atmospheric pressure ranges (700 ~ 1060
hPa)" or you may get inaccurate readings.
