It is normal for blood pressure to vary slightly throughout the day, but blood pressure that fluctuates from one extreme to the other should be monitored and managed.
Home remedies, lifestyle changes, and some medications can help to regulate blood pressure.
It is important to get it checked regularly because blood pressure can reveal a lot about a person’s health.
