Do i have high BP? When and how should we check BP to know the correct values..Please clarify doctors.

Fluctuations in blood pressure readings can occur due to various factors such as stress, anxiety, physical activity, or even the time of day. This is normal and is known as "white coat syndrome" when blood pressure is temporarily elevated in a medical setting. For accurate readings, it's important to take multiple measurements over time and consider an average.
