Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

No biological value can be / rather should be constant.
They always vary - they have a range.
Blood pressure has a circadian rhythm - starts rising from dawn, peaks before noon, declines in the afternoon...Other factors like stress influnce...


Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
