Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am curious. I went for a walk after dinner, and stopped at a pharmacy to check my bp. i waited about 3 or 4 minutes after the walk, and got a reading of 134/95. I waited a couple of minutes and then got one of 122/77. The third reading, another couple or 3 minutes later read 122/84. Is it normal to have such discrepancies? If your bp jumps all over the map like that how do you know which is correct?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Its quite normal that your blood pressure is fluctuate after walking. Even change in position from sitting to standing and lying down can change your reading. When you walk or exercise your blood pressure is increased. when you stop that your blood pressure start to decreasing. If you take reading within few minutes it shows great fluctuation. So its normal. No need to worry about that. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
