Artifact-fluctuation: Normal BP varies constantly. Depending on what conditions you check it, you will find wide variation. Be sure all checks are at complete rest for at least 10 minutes. BP cuff should be at heart level. Use an average of several readings. You'll still see variability, which is normal, but this will help minimize them. Good luck.
