ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

■■ Answers to Why Your Readings Are Different Between Home and at the Doctor’s Office

Your blood pressure readings taken in a doctor’s office or hospital setting may be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is known as white coat hypertension.

When I bring my monitor to a doctor’s office, why do I get a different measurement from my monitor to that taken by a doctor or nurse?

The healthcare professional may be using a different sized cuff. The size of the bladder inside the cuff is critical for the accuracy of the measurement. This may give you a different reading. A cuff too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will pro- duce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. There may also be other factors that can cause the difference in measurements.
