Blood pressure chart for women | HealthInfi

The level of blood pressure in women may vary for different reasons. In healthy women, blood pressure can be changed because of physical or nervous overstrain, as well as negative emotions or excessive fluid intake. Moreover, the change in blood pressure can be a sign of cardiovascular disease. For timely diagnosis of cardiovascular pathology, blood pressure should be checked regularly. If besides the blood pressure change, other signs of cardiovascular diseases appear (chest pain, edemas, breathlessness, fatigability), be sure to inform your doctor.

At early stages of cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure may change inconstantly. If the blood pressure was normal during medical examination, the doctor may recommend making up a blood pressure chart.

By means of blood pressure chart, the doctor can put a more accurate diagnosis and determine the severity of cardiovascular disease. For making up the chart, it is necessary to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate, as well as to note down the date and time of measurements.

In some cases, physicians advise their patients to note down in the chart mealtimes, blood cholesterol level, the time of medications intake, as well as the periods of physical loads, rest and sleep. It should be noted that the level of blood pressure in healthy men and women of the same age might be different. Therefore, blood pressure chart for healthy woman may differ from the chart for healthy man.

In regular filling out the chart, healthy women will be able to make sure that their blood pressure and heart rate vary slightly during the day. If a woman have any cardiovascular pathology, the chart will demonstrate non-periodic and non-cyclic fluctuations in the heart rate and blood pressure during the day.

Blood pressure chart is necessary both for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and for the improvement of blood pressure control in patients with hypertension. Making up the chart, a woman can know in what situations her blood pressure changes, what factors contribute to tachycardia, what doses of antihypertensive medications are optimal for each case. Regular making up the chart will help a woman to control the blood pressure without the constant help of doctors. Moreover, the blood pressure chart allows timely to reveal abnormal fluctuations in BP and to replace the type of used antihypertensive drugs* if necessary.Read More
