What position is blood pressure normally the highest and lowest?
Author: If a person was sitting, reclining, or standing, which position would cause the blood pressure to be highest and lowest?
Also, if there was an increase in blood viscosity, cardiac ouput, and diameter of the arterioles would this constitute to an increase in blood pressure as well?
blood pressure (BP) is usuall lowest standing position and highest in supine (reclining) position. This is because the blood return to the heart is decreased when standing.
