What causes blood pressure to fluctuate many times during the day from "high" to relatively "normal"?
Lelia J asked:
I am 74 years old, mildly overweight, don't smoke or drink, eat extremely healthfully, get sufficient restful sleep, take no medications, am always busy reading, studying, etc. I know I have the "white coat syndrome" because my blood pressure goes over 180/95+ in the doctor's office, so I got a portable blood pressure machine that has a wrist cuff and take my pressure eight or ten times a day. It can be anywhere from 185/95 to 132/75 and is never ever constant. I have tried breathing exercises which seem helpful. I do not want to take any medicines. I tried going off caffeine and salt for a couple of weeks, but that doesn't matter—still fluctuates wildly. I would otherwise consider myself in very good health.
