TWR Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Understand about dilation in hot weather but thinking about fluid replacement with sweating, etc.. As an addendum to this question, has anyone noted higher pressure first thing in morning as opposed to mid day readings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 First thing in the morning as in just woke up & have not urinated yet? If so, it would tend to be higher then. Post void would typically be lower. Outside of that there are too many factors that could be involved that could account for morning vs midday readings, such as rush hour traffic driving to work vs being more relaxed at lunchtime etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
