Millions of people are unknowingly wrecking their blood pressure readings with one simple mistake — drinking water too soon before checking their blood pressure. It may seem harmless, but when you drink a full glass of water within 20 to 30 minutes before taking your BP, it can temporarily raise your blood pressure by 5, 10, even 15 points — giving you a false reading and unnecessary worry. In this video, Dr. Mandell explains exactly why this happens, the fascinating physiology behind it, and how to time your water intake for the most accurate blood pressure reading. You’ll also learn why sipping a little water is fine, but drinking too much right before your measurement can trigger this effect. If you or a loved one is monitoring blood pressure at home — this is a must-know tip for your heart health!
Just remember — your blood pressure naturally goes up and down throughout the day, which is completely normal. But when you’re monitoring it, be aware that drinking a large amount of water right before taking your blood pressure can temporarily elevate the reading. That’s nothing to worry about — drinking a glass or two of water is still healthy for you. However, if you’re adjusting medications, visiting your doctor, or tracking your numbers closely, it’s helpful to know that this is a normal physiological response. My goal is simply to educate you, so you’re aware of how this can affect your readings.
