Blood pressure doesn't go up and down just because you added a little more salt to your food. Yes, salt plays a role but of course it is not the only factor.
During the day, our blood pressure can also be affected by stress, sleep, caffeine, hydration, and even how our daily life goes in general.
That is why a single measurement does not always tell the whole truth.
A slightly raised reading when you are tired, stressed or dehydrated is different from persistently high blood pressure that needs proper monitoring.
Remember we're not just looking at a number. We look at the person and their organism as a whole.
If you see frequent fluctuations in your blood pressure or have questions about your readings, don't leave it to chance.
Talk to our practice and get a proper assessment - do a complete cardiac check-up.
