Why the blood pressure I get from the hospital is different from home?
The blood pressure is different even during 24 hour because of the weather, emotion, exercise etc, specially the “white coat” in hospital
which makes the results are higher than the ones at home.
If the result is the same if measuring on the right wrist?
It is ok for both wrists, but there will be some different results for different person, so suggest you measure the same wrist every time.
The attention need to pay when you measure you blood pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly,
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the wrist.
If you feel anxious pressured.
You had better take deep breath 2-3 times before beginning.
Advice: adjust yourself for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.
