Relationship Between Hypertension And White Coat Syndrome

I heard from client not long ago describing her spouse's predicament with blood pressure readings. When he takes the reading at home it is somewhere between normal and slightly elevated, but at the doctor's office it reads high.

My client wondered if her husband was suffering from stress about seeing the doctor and that was perhaps raising his blood pressure. While her husband did not think he was particularly nervous about seeing his doctor, he did admit it could be playing a role subconciously.

This kind of problem is called white coat syndrome

In doctor's office or even in office settings a person's blood pressure may rise. Even though it shows normal at home. 10 to 20 percent of adult population is affected by this.

Blood pressure may differ when using a blood pressure cuff that is very small and that results in a high blood pressure read. At time the nurses and other medical professionals make take incorrect reading.

The question to pose oneself is: Does this syndrome create a health risk? The answer is - yes. While the risk of an event is lower than with chronic high blood pressure, it's risk is higher than normal.

It is not an issue when the blood pressure increases only when visiting doctors clinic and only for a few minutes. But if a person experience this problem many times a day then it may lead to chronic high blood pressure. The very important thing that everybody should know when is the blood pressure increasing and how long each time it tend to happens.

Even when people are not suffering from white coat syndrome some people think they are suffering from it.
