A member asked:
Is it normal for bp to fluctuate alot? 120/70 one day. 158/100 another day. and last reading was 137/65. readings taken at doctor's offices.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a problem: It is not really normal but the stress of having BP checked in a doctor's office can cause wild fluctuations in one's bp. I would not worry about it.
