Hi group,
This letter is to clarify the doubt, that the pt may be getting tensed
when she is waiting for the consultation.
As i told in the 1st letter it is a free clinic and there at that
time when the Pt comes it is not a busy hour and there are no other
factors, as far as i know which cause a stress during the waiting
period. She was 1st diagnosed to have BP When she hit a vehicle and was
taken to hospital to check up and was told to have BP. She did not
suffer any serious injury in that incident. She used to feel
sleeplessness earlier( around the period when she was diagnosed) which
she thought to be due to High BP but now last few years there is no any
complaints. She does feel Palpitation after walking. Even in her
personal life she does not have any clear cut factors which cause a
tension or grief. When ever u say that her BP is high ( it is me who get
tensed and think and refer hard to find a cause ad cure,) she coolly
or rather indifferently to the level of BP she will say that she does
not feel any thing or has no any discomfort or worry grief etc.
Now coming to checking the BP in both hands it is true i must have done
that but i was very very lazy to do that.
ThankYou
Nandana T Pai

When I worked in allopathic medicine, if there was a case where we
suspected "white coat syndrome" (elevated BP---even at the levels you
mention---on the entry of the doctor), we would take the BP once in each
arm, then ask the patient to breathe for 30 seconds. Then we would
re-take the BP once in each arm, then ask the patient to breathe again,
and repeat. We nearly always would be able to measure a drop in BP,
usually into the normal range. If there was upregulation of the
parasympathetic nervous system, it might take as many as three sessions
of breathing to restore the BP to the actual "normal" level for that
particular patient.
