What is high blood pressure in white coats?

"White coat hypertension" refers to the increase in blood pressure measured in the doctor's office (see a doctor in a white coat and work clothes), and the results of self-blood pressure at home or 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure show that the blood pressure is normal, and it generally occurs mainly in middle-aged and elderly women. In general, white coat hypertension does not require routine blood pressure lowering**, but lifestyle changes should be fully emphasized. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to regular follow-up and timely attention to changes in blood pressure, because as patients with white coat hypertension grow older, many patients will have increased blood pressure by home self-test or 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and then drugs will be needed**.

White coat hypertension, as the name suggests, is a significant increase in blood pressure when you see a person wearing a white coat. This is probably related to the nervousness caused by the sight of a white coat, which leads to an increase in blood pressure. However, there is still controversy about the high blood pressure of white coats, and it is necessary to consider whether drugs are needed from the comprehensive factors of each person.

The so-called "white coat hypertension" refers to the phenomenon that the patient's blood pressure rises after being measured by a medical staff wearing a white coat after arriving at the clinic, and the blood pressure is normal outside the clinic for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring or home self-measurement. To put it simply, it is a phenomenon that when you go to the hospital to measure your blood pressure, it is normal to measure your blood pressure at home.

White coat hypertension may be related to the patient's nervousness after seeing the medical staff in the white coat, and the excessive production of catecholamines in the blood, resulting in rapid heartbeat and increased resistance to peripheral vasoconstriction. ‍‍

White coat hypertension, also known as "simple clinic hypertension" or "isolated clinical hypertension", refers to the patient's high blood pressure when the blood pressure is measured in front of the medical staff in the hospital office, but the blood pressure is normal at home or in the hospital clinic without the presence of medical staff.

In my opinion, white coat hypertension refers to the phenomenon that the blood pressure measured in the office is always high, but the blood pressure measured outside the clinic is not high, and the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is normal. ‍‍

White coat high blood pressure is due to overwork at work, I think.

Looking at this description, my first instinct was that it was probably due to nervousness, and it probably seems to be the case. After all, going to the hospital is not a daily thing, and seeing a doctor is also a short-term thing, blood pressure is only temporarily raised, and people's blood pressure is normal most of the time.

I haven't heard of this yet, the scientific method**, plus balanced nutrition. Physical exercise.

White coat hypertension is measured by the patient in the hospital is high blood pressure, but measured at home. Blood pressure is normal. In general, this is the case when the test is carried out in the hospital due to inner tension, which will speed up the heart, so it will lead to high blood pressure.

Because running from home to the hospital is a state of mental tension, and when measuring blood pressure, the heart rate and breathing are generally accelerated, because it is very nervous, so if you go to the hospital to check your body, try to rest in place, and after 30 minutes, the operation in measuring blood pressure will be more accurate.
