Blood Pressure Readings: Are You Ignoring One of the Biggest Variables?
When we think about blood pressure, we often focus on salt intake, stress, or medication. But temperature—yes, body, room, and outdoor temperature—plays a crucial role too.
💡 Did you know?
For every 1°C drop in room temperature, your systolic BP may rise up to 0.5 mmHg.
Cold environments = higher BP
Hot weather = lower BP
Indoor heating, time of day, and even your skin temperature can skew readings if not controlled.
✅ Whether you're a healthcare provider or monitoring BP at home, consistency matters:
Measure in a warm, quiet room (~21°C)
Avoid cold drafts or post-exercise heat
Record temperature and time alongside each reading
