When is it more accurate to measure blood pressure?



There is no definite time limit for clinical measurement of blood pressure. When done properly, blood pressure is measured accurately, and it is generally recommended that measurement be done after a half-hour rest from eating, exercise and other activities.

Blood pressure within the normal range within 24 hours is called stabilized blood pressure. The normal curve of blood pressure is usually higher around 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. These are the two peaks. In adults, blood pressure is usually between 90 and 140 mmHg systolic and around 60 to 90 mmHg diastolic in a quiet state.

There is no definite time limit for measuring blood pressure, and it is more accurate when measured in a regular operation, but it is generally recommended that measurements be taken after half an hour’s rest from activities such as eating and exercising.

When patients detect that their blood pressure is not normal, they should be examined under the guidance of a professional doctor, and if necessary, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring can also be carried out to clarify whether there is any blood pressure abnormality in the body.
