Patient's question:
My husband developed high blood pressure at a young age and doesn't drink beer regularly. What I want to ask is, when is high blood pressure the highest?Doctor's answer:
Since human blood pressure is affected by various different factors, such as emotional excitement and dietary strain, it can fluctuate at any given moment. If other external factors are excluded, blood pressure tends to be higher during the afternoon, mainly due to prolonged physical activity throughout the day, which often keeps the nervous system highly active, combined with the effects of diet. Therefore, the afternoon generally leads to a decline in blood pressure.
