Our Blood pressure is lowest while we sleep, then rises when we wake up and start the day\u2019s activity. If you wake early to urinate, immediately after you use the bathroom sit quietly for 5 minutes. Then before checking the news, your mails or drinking coffee, it is advisable to take two readings roughly 1 minutes apart.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I get correct results in the afternoon and evening ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the day goes on, blood pressure also rises systematically and is at the highest in the afternoon.
