It was found that if there is a difference of 6.5 points in systolic bp when measuring bp sitting and standing in a middle-aged person, then it indicates a serious case. However, a slight drop in systolic blood pressure is observed when the standing bp is measured in a healthy person. Not only this, researchers are now advising young and middle-aged people to measure standing blood pressure to detect hypertension.
