A member asked:
So my blood pressure the past 2 days was either 143/84 or 144/83 (tested on numerous machines). today it was normal, so what is my actual bp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: All your blood pessure readings have been normal. Just remember, BP readings are not exact constant numbers and vary slightly, as in your case, throughout the day depending on activity, rest and food intake etc. No need to be obsessive. For normal people, checking bP once every 1-2 wks is sufficient. Feel better!

Very good evening Doctors. I notice when my doctor checks my blood pressure manually in the office, it is often very much lower than when I check it on those automatic machines in the pharmacies. Is this normal? What can account for the differences?
