Blood pressure is regulated by multiple factors. It is affected by the body’s heart rate, how much blood the body is carrying, how wide or narrow the blood vessels are, and how much resistance they present to the circulation of blood. It can also be influenced by body position, emotional states, physical activity, external temperature, and even use of certain medications. Regular exercise, proper diet, and relaxation techniques can help to keep blood pressure in a healthy range.
