high blood pressure
"I am 58 y/o in overall good health, exercise and have a good diet, but noticed over the years my b/p goes up with stress. I also have "white coat syndrome" which means it is always high in the doctor's office, even though when I would check it at home it would vary considerably depending on the stress level, sometimes normal and sometimes quite high. Several years ago my Doctor put me on Toprol which really did not help much. He then added Cozaar 50mg which helped somewhat to bring the readings down from "High" (160-170 in the Doctor's office) to "Borderline High" (140ish). Then about a year ago he substituted Bystolic 5mg for the Toprol and I began to achieve readings, even in the doctors office, of 120-130/70-80, and even better at home."
