Blood pressure questions?

You obviously keep up with all the numbers, you know what yours are and what the "normal" parameters should be. That's good, but it can also contribute to "white coat test syndrome" meaning that your blood pressure may elevate when tested by a professional. Buy a home blood pressure monitor and test your own at home. Keep records and when you go to the doctor, take both your monitor and the records with you. Test your monitor against the nurse's blood pressure reading while in the office. All the numbers you listed were good to not bad except for the "high" 100 diastolic BP reading and the "low" HDL. Remember all the numbers are subject to change depending on time of testing and cirstances--stress and recent diet. Lose the extra weight and engage in an exercise program that meets your doctor's approval. Above all, don't worry--it'll do more heart damage than any of those test numbers.
