Researchers found talking on a mobile triggers significant increases in systolic blood pressure that corresponds to the “surge” that occurs with each heartbeat.
This is the higher number in a reading which doctors pay most attention to when assessing a patient’s risk of cardiovascular disease.
The researchers took 12 blood pressure readings at one-minute intervals from 94 patients with mild hypertension.
The participants, whose average age was 53, were seated in a comfortable armchair in a doctor’s consulting room and left alone after the first blood pressure reading was taken using an automatic device.
Researchers phoned the patients at least three times and found that when the patient was on the phone or receiving a call, theirblood pressure reading rose from an average of 121/77 on average to 129/82.
NHS advice is that a blood pressure reading below 130/80 is normal, and anything above 140/90 is considered to be high.
Around one in four people in the UK suffer from high blood pressure, and every day there are about 350 strokes or heart attacks due to high blood pressure.
