20 Dec 09 Relationship Between Hypertension And White Coat Syndrome

One of my client was speaking about the difference in her spouse’s blood pressure reading. When it is taken in home it is somewhere between normal and slightly high. But when it is taken at doctor’s clinic it reads very high.

My client wondered this way. By seeing the doctor her husband’s blood pressure was raising. But her husband thought he was not very much nervous by seeing the doctor. But he did admit that he could been subconsciously affected.

This is called “White coat syndrome” or “White coat hypertension”

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

At time the nurses and other medical professionals make take incorrect reading. This mainly happens due to using a blood pressure cuff that is very small and that results in a high blood pressure read.

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.
