  • 1. 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?

  • 2. By the way, doctor... My blood pressure is high in my doctor's office, but low when I take it at home on my blood-pressure monitor. My doctor says that I have white-coat hypertension, blood pressure that goes up in a doctor's office. She says it isn't medically dangerous, but can that be true?

  • 3. My home blood-pressure monitor always gives me readings in the normal range, but when I go to my doctor, the readings are 160/90, or higher. I think I have white-coat hypertension, but how can I be sure?

  • 4. 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!

  • 5. 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?

  • 6. 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?

  • 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?

  • 12. Ask the doctor. I am trying to decide whether to buy a home blood pressure monitor. I have mild high blood pressure (my doctor has recorded some readings lately in the vicinity of 170/90 mm Hg). He is starting me on medicines now. Should I lay out the money for a monitor?

  • 15. Ask the doctor. I'm 78 years old. I've known for years that I have a narrowing of the aortic valve of my heart. My doctors are always asking me whether I have chest pain, fainting spells, or any other special symptoms. Until recently, the answer has been no. A few days ago, however, I was washing dishes in my kitchen, and I suddenly felt lightheaded and fell to the ground. I didn't black out, but I almost did. Now my doctor is saying that I should have my aortic valve replaced. Isn't this rather an extreme response to just one spell of lightheadedness?

  • 16. Ask the doctor. I try to exercise every day to raise my heart rate. The standard formula of 220 minus age (I'm 79) times 0.9 gives an excessively high target for me. Because my resting heart rate is under 50, I would need to more than double my heart rate to reach a target of 128. Does the standard formula apply to people like me?
