Blood pressure (BP) is a familiar concept to everyone. Despite the fact that many people repeatedly measure BP on their own and can even analyze the results obtained using a phonendoscope or an electronic tonometer, the principle of the appearance of data remains a mystery to many. And such a concept as a variant of the norm is incomprehensible to many. In fact, this is a deviation from standard norms, which, taking into account the individual characteristics of a person, can be considered normal. But to understand the specifics of the BP measurement procedure, let’s consider: what can affect the indicators, as well as various options for deviations from the norm.<\/p>\n

What affects blood pressure?<\/em><\/h2>\n

The oscillatory cycle of myocardial contractions systole-diastole repeats continuously, but for some reason the data can change not only during the day, but even within a few minutes. Changes in BP indicators are affected by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Muscle tone. Insufficient relaxation of the muscles during the measurement will contribute to the fact that the obtained indicators will be higher.<\/li>\n
  2. Stress or anxiety before the procedure contributes to obtaining incorrect data.<\/li>\n
  3. A smoked cigarette or the consumption of caffeinated beverages cause a short-term increase in vascular tone and a temporary increase in BP.<\/li>\n
  4. Recent food consumption can also affect the reliability of the indicators.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If when you feel good, the indicators are too low or, on the contrary, somewhat high, then it is not always due to a low-quality tonometer. In some cases, deviations from generally accepted medical norms are possible.<\/p>\n

    Having understood what affects a person’s BP, it is necessary to consider which tonometer readings are considered normal, and in which cases it is necessary to seek medical help:<\/p>\n
