There are many factors that can affect a blood pressure reading, including mood, body position, activity, among several others.

I am a dual certified family and pediatric nurse practitioner. I worked many years as a registered nurse (RN) in the emergency room, then continued working in the emergency room after becoming a nurse practitioner (NP). I love the teaching aspect of nursing and love to make videos that will help both nurses and patients alike.
