Is It Normal Of Monitoring Blood Pressure By Resting On Bed?
i have recently carried out 24 hours BP monitoring by attaching the equipment with my upper arm. The variation during 24 hour cycyle was huge like 100/45 and 157/87. i am a bp patient and have been having Telma 40 and metpure Xl 60 for the last two years. I was not convinced by the explanation of my doctor. The monitoring was mainly done on resting on bed. can you please let me know whether it is normal or not. Mind you sir that I had stopped medicine one day prior the test.

Hi,
During 24 hour blood pressure monitoring it is affordable to have such variations, especially among patients with high blood pressure.
Blood pressure can increase during the day, after eating, after some physical activities. And it is decreased during the night, when one sleeps. So we can have such variations.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
