B. Variations in blood pressure:
Individual blood pressures vary great-
ly both on a daily and a seasonal ba-
sis.
These variations are even more pro-
nounced in hyper tense patients.
Normally the blood pressure rises
while at work and is at its lowest dur-
ing sleeping period.
(hyper tense: means a person who
has high blood pressure symptom.)
The graph below illustrated the variations in blood pressure over a whole day with meas-
urement taken every five minutes.
The thick line represents sleep. The rise in blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12
PM (B in the graph) correspond to an attack of pain.

mospheric pressure ranges (700 ~ 1060 hPa) or you may get inaccurate readings.
• Wait 30 ~ 45 minutes before measurement if you've just consumed caffeinated beverag-
