BLOOD PRESSURE Q&A

	Q Why is the blood pressure measured at home different from that
English
	measured by the physician or at a hospital?
	A Your blood pressure may vary due to exercise, the ambient temperature
	or your mental state. When you have a physician or nurse measure your
	blood pressure, the pressure value is likely to be 10 to 20 mmHg higher
Español	than usual due to anxiety and/or stress. Knowing what affects your blood
	pressure helps you to better monitor your health.
	Q Why does the blood pressure obtained vary with measurement?
	A Our blood pressure is adjusted by automatic nerve function. Blood
Português	pressure differs with every heart beat. We are likely to think that our
	blood pressure is constant, but it varies if you take measurements
	in repetition. Blood pressure is susceptible to the time of day, such
	as morning and afternoon, season and atmospheric temperature. In
	addition, blood pressure is easily affected by mental stress or emotional
	ups and downs. It tends to increase when you feel tension or decrease
	when you are relaxed.
	Q What is the benefit of measuring my blood pressure at home?
	A Blood pressure measurements taken at home give reliable data as they
	can be taken when you are in a stable and relaxed condition. Physicians
	place considerable importance on blood pressure measurements taken
Italiano	at home. You should measure your blood pressure at the same time
	each day and record the variations in your blood pressure.
