BP Measurements
I have noticed that my blood pressure (BP) varies as a function of when and where it is measured. At the Oncologist's office, it is consistently higher than at the Dentist office, for example. I believe that anxiety plays a major role in the 'snapshot' blood pressure measurements taken in a doctor's office. Other factors might include time of day, effort extended in arriving at the doctor's office, relative fatigue level and anything else that might be on my mind. So, I purchased a wrist mounted blood pressure monitor - the same make and model used by my Dentist, and I began to measure my BP each day. Take a look at the data and observe how the readings are location dependent.
