Regularly checking your blood pressure may not be enough for identifying and preventing high blood pressure, according to research from Jichi Medical University in Japan.
Strangely enough, taking your blood pressure at the wrong time of the day could completely skew the readings and cause stroke and heart attack.
Scientists have said for years that the best time to check is in the morning because the resting readings are the most accurate.
But that’s not the only reason, according to the scientists from Jichi Medical University in Japan.
It was found in their study that in the case of participants whose blood pressure tended to be higher in the morning than at other times of day, NOT identifying the high blood pressure problem for this group proved to be deadly.
Those people were at an exponentially higher risk of stroke and heart attack than their counterparts whose blood pressure were found to be high all day.
There wasn’t a difference in risk factor for those whose blood pressure who had a higher pressure reading in the evenings. The morning spikes that were the standout factor.
So, the checking of the blood pressure at the same time every day is best, especially if you can do it morning, noon, and before bed. However, most importantly would be your morning readings.
