I've just checked my blood pressure at home and got a reading of 13784 while standing. I took the measurement suddenly without resting, and then it read 12780 after two minutes, and after another two minutes, it dropped to 11274. Is this normal? Should I be worried about these quick changes?

Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day due to various factors such as stress, physical activity, and even the time of day. However, the readings you provided are within the normal range. A blood pressure of 13784, 12780, and 11274 are all considered normal blood pressure readings. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and if you have any concerns, consult with your healthcare provider.
