5.3Blood Pressure Standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program has developed a Blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard however, is a general guideline as individual's blood pressure varies among different people and different groups, etc.

ENGLISH

It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

5.4Blood Pressure Fluctuation

Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!

You should not be worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels. Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day depending on circumstances (state of mind, temperature, ...)

Ex. Fluctuation within the day for a Male, 35 years old.
