Well then, instead of being smug, how about providing a reference? Specifically, can you link to information about the distribution of individual blood pressure daily variances across a population? This is different from white coat hypertension,something which nearly all of us are familiar.
To get you going here is a 2009 article on labile hypertension. It discuss the topic but does not provide any quantitative information on population distribution.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8673041/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8673041/
Edit: here’s a link to a more recent reference:
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/251055/blood-pressure-variability-major-predictor-heart/ https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/251055/blood-pressure-variab...
Apparently, contrary to your assertion that an individual’s blood pressure variability is part of established 1st years med student’s knowledge, labile hypertension seems to be an active area of research.
