Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office provides only a
momentary value. Repeated measurements at home may be
useful when monitoring one’s actual blood pressure values.
Many people may have a different blood pressure reading
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 may
provide your doctor with useful information on your
«everyday» values.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the
following standard blood pressure values when measured at
resting pulse.
