  • 1. Ask the doctor. My blood pressure is high when I first get up in the morning, generally around 150/80, but always drops back to normal (around 120/60) by 9 a.m. and stays that way throughout the day. I take 150 milligrams of Avapro in the morning and again in the evening, along with a diuretic in the morning. I check my blood pressure at home using a meter that was verified in my cardiologist's office. My doctor says I shouldn't worry about the temporary high morning blood pressure. What do you think?

  • 2. Ask the Doctor. I take a beta blocker called atenolol and an ACE inhibitor every morning for my hypertension. When I get up in the morning, my blood pressure is high, but falls as the day goes on. It seems like it s always pretty good by the time I see my doctor, so she thinks everything is fine. Still, the high numbers worry me. Should I be on another drug?

  • 4. Ask the doctor. I am a 78-year-old woman and have been taking high blood pressure medications for many years. Maybe it s because I've lost a lot of weight I used to be quite heavy but my blood pressure has fallen to about 110/70 mm Hg. My doctor tells me that the lower my blood pressure, the better. But I worry that it's getting too low. What do you think?

  • 5. Ask the doctor. I take atenolol and lisinopril for my blood pressure. I have a blood pressure monitor that I use at home and I find that, on average, my pressure is 150/85 in the morning and 130/80 in the afternoon. Should I be worried about the high morning readings?

  • 6. By the way, doctor. After a recent blood pressure check, my doctor bumped up my dose of Lotensin [an ACE inhibitor] from 10 milligrams to 20. I had been taking the 10-mg pill in the morning, but my doctor advised me to take the new, higher dose in the evening. He said most strokes and heart attacks happen in the morning, and that I could get better protection by taking the drug right before. But I read in the Health Letter a couple of months ago that you recommend morning intake, so I am confused.

  • 7. Ask the doctor. My blood pressure is 180/80 mm Hg. My doctor tells me this a common problem for people in their 70s, like me. The problem is that whenever I try medicines at doses high enough to get my top number under 140 mm Hg (which I understand to be the goal), I get exhausted or have other side effects. Do I really need to worry about my blood pressure when the bottom number is so good?

  • 8. I take three different blood pressure medications-six pills total-every day. They are isosorbide mononitrate, amlodipine, and atenolol. They seem to do a good job bringing down my blood pressure, but before my 6 p.m. atenolol and then later before my 10 p.m. amlodipine, my blood pressure shoots up. I'm worried about carrying an elevated blood pressure for much of the evening. I know ift goes up in the early hours before I wake up, too. What can you tell me about how these fluctuations are affecting my health? My doctor says I shouldn't worry. And is it possible to keep the blood pressure under control 24 hours a day?

  • 9. Ask the doctor. When I get up in the morning, my systolic blood pressure is 30 to 50 points higher than it is later in the day (about 110). I am taking three different blood pressure medications. Is this unusual?

  • 10. Ask the doctor. I take medicine to lower my cholesterol. My doctor says that I've reached my target (my LDL is just under 100 mg/dL), but I wonder whether I should try to get my cholesterol even lower. I haven't heard that you'll get hurt by taking too much of these drugs, so why shouldn't I increase my dose?

  • 11. I'm a 57-year-old man with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I had a hard time regulating my pressure until I went on Vasotec, which was great. But I developed a cough, so my doctor switched me to Cozaar. My cough stopped and my pressure seems okay, but I'd like to know what you think of the switch.

  • 12. Ask the doctor. My blood pressure has wide swings each day. It can go as high as 210/110 with even minor stress like grocery shopping, then fall to 100/50, which makes me tired and needing rest. I take 15 mg of isosorbide dinitrate and a slow-release nitrate for angina. I also take 10 mg of atenolol (Tenormin) to slow my heart rate. My doctor says I'm just a "reactive person." My diet is excellent, and I try to keep active. Could my adrenal glands have anything to do with this?

  • 13. Ask the Doctor. I'm 45 years old. At the doctor's office, my blood pressure readings are usually pretty high (the top number may reach 150 or 160), but my home monitor shows numbers more like 130/90. My doctor calls my problem "white-coat hypertension" and reassures me that it isn't dangerous. But it bothers me that my pressure shoots up like that. I have plenty of stressful moments every day, and my blood pressure must be going up then, too. Should I be on medication?

  • 14. Can you tell me about "white-coat syndrome?" When I'm at the doctor's office, my blood pressure can get as high as 220/110. But when I take my blood pressure at home, it is 130/84. I have an outgoing personality, so I don't think it's bottled tension!

  • 15. Ask the doctor. When I am under great stress, my blood pressure sometimes shoots up to 200/120 for a short time but then quickly goes down to 120/80 or lower and stays there. One doctor told me that spikes like these are normal and not to worry about them. Another told me this isn't normal or healthy. Who is right?

  • 17. Ask the doctor. After 10 years of successfully keeping my high blood pressure under control, I am now afflicted with periods of low blood pressure. Sometimes when I get up in the morning, it is under 100/50. What could be causing this?

  • 18. Ask the doctor. Because I take the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin), my doctor said I shouldn't take aspirin. Aren't there any anti-inflammatory drugs I can take for my arthritis that won't increase my chances of a bleeding problem?

  • 19. Ask the doctor. I frequently get a dull chest pain that goes on for hours at a time. My doctor tells me that it is not coming from my heart and that I shouldn't worry, but how can he be sure that such severe pain isn't dangerous to me?

  • 20. I check my blood pressure regularly with a home-monitoring device, and I take two measurements each time. I've noticed that my blood pressure drops between measurements, so I record the lower reading. Usually, my doctor takes only one measurement. Should I ask him to take two?
