Blood Pressure Standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a blood pressure standard, according to
which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a
general guideline and blood pressures vary between different people, age groups, etc.

It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your
normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

Blood Pressure Fluctuation

Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
You should not be overtly worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day. It is also influenced by
season and temperature.
