  • 2. 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?

  • 5. 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?

  • 6. On call. I'm a 76-year-old man with an enlarged prostate. I've been taking Cardura and it's helped a lot, but my doctor stopped it because he said a study found the drug could cause heart failure. Now I'm getting up three or four times a night again. Is Cadura safe?

  • 10. Ask the doctor. For several years now, my lower legs have been painful and somewhat swollen, especially at the end of the day. My doctor says that my veins are not getting the blood back to my heart like they used to, but that it is just part of aging (I am 72 years old). He tells me to put my feet up as much as possible, but that's not very practical when you have a lot to do! Isn't there anything else I could try?

  • 12. On call. I am a 64-year-old man, quite healthy except for high blood pressure, which was diagnosed last year. My doctor gave me Hydro-Diuril, which was only partly successful. Then he added Prinivil, but I had to stop it because of a terrible cough. Now he wants me to take Lopressor, but I've read the package insert and I'm worried about side effects--especially sexual problems, since I already have problems in that area. Do I have to take the pills?

  • 13. I am a 64-year-old man with high blood pressure. My doctor always checks my pressure in my right arm, but I've started checking both arms with my own blood pressure machine. My right arm is always 6-10 points higher than my left. Is this normal?

  • 14. Ask the doctor. I read that Vice President Cheney received an implantable defibrillator because of some extra beats on his electrocardiogram. I've also had some extra beats, but I've never had a heart attack or any other heart problems. My doctor told me not to worry. Is the Vice President getting better care than I am?

  • 15. Ask the doctor. I've been fighting obesity all my life. I'm a 62-year-old woman and every five years or so I lose about 20 pounds, then slowly gain it back. I've heard that this "yo-yo" pattern of weight loss, weight gain, weight loss, may be more dangerous than just staying heavy. Should I give up trying to lose weight?

  • 16. Ask the Doctor: I am a woman, age 48, in generally good health, although I've gained about 10 pounds over the past two years. My LDL cholesterol us 142 mg/dL and my HDL cholesterol is 58 mg/dL. I looked at the news reports on the new cholesterol guidelines and was extremely unhappy to see that my LDL is "borderline high". My doctor says I don't need drug therapy. What do you think?

  • 17. I have a lot of risk factors for heart disease and my doctor told me to lose weight and watch my diet. He also prescribed medications for blood pressure and high cholesterol. Can I wait to see if the weight loss helps before starting the medication?

  • 19. Ask the doctor. My doctor recently put me on Tenormin because my blood pressure was getting high. Now, when I run or row, I can't get my heart rate much above 115 beats per minute even though my peak heart rate should be 136. Is the beta blocker keeping me from getting the full benefit of exercise?

  • 20. Ask the doctor. After being diagnosed with high blood pressure several years ago, I started taking diltiazem and Atacand. The results were good, giving me an average blood pressure of 110/65. I recently developed gastroenteritis and aspiration pneumonia. While I was in the hospital, my blood pressure got so low I was told to stop taking these medications. I have been off them since, and my blood pressure has remained normal, averaging 105/65. How can this be? Will high blood pressure return?
