Hi,
With the question “What are the signs to identify people with white coat hypertension? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Usually white coat hypertension is normal blood pressure at home, but when seeing medical staff, doctors, people wearing white coats, blood pressure suddenly increases. For an accurate diagnosis, she needs to wear a 24-hour blood pressure monitor at home and in medical facilities.
White coat hypertension is a syndrome that can occur in many people, diverse in age. This syndrome is psychological, so it can be practiced to change. However, this is a precursor to blood pressure, so patients need to pay more attention to diet and exercise to enhance cardiovascular health.
