Blood pressure readings from a healthy
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.
