Masked hypertensionWell, if his doctor didn't do the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, he would have been slapped onthe back, with a jolly well done, your blood pressure is NORMAL. But, it's NOT. This guy is in T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Serious TROUBLE! More and more scientific studies, show the risk from high blood pressure, is comingwhen blood pressure is high, when you're "sleeping".You want to be a dipperUnfortunately, to know whether you are or not, will require more than the blood pressure reading takenat home or in your doctor's office. You need to be strapped up to a device that can monitor your bloodpressure over a 24-hour period and then report on your blood pressure, in the middle of the night. Thetechnology does exist. And using it to diagnose high blood pressure, is actually recommended by most healthauthorities, but it's not always done.It's expensive and inconvenient, etc.But, if you're womied about cardiovascular disease, your asleep blood pressure, is the reading that REALLYmatters. And if this reading is high, this is the number you should be working to improve.Asleep blood pressure is the targetSo how do you do this? Well, it probably doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, if you want your bloodpressure to be low at night, you need to be doing what you can, to keep your body's clock in sync with thesun. Sleep, exposure to light and the timing of your meals, are just some of the leavers you can pull, toimprove your circadian rhythm. If you are taking blood pressure lowering meds, you want to take them, so theydo their thing, at night, because this is the time, you need them.Watch the video on the link for more informationhttps://youtu.be/zPxK37KBxblKnowing the information on blood pressure, answer the following:6. In which time does individuals would likely have the highest blood pressure in normal conditions?a. Upon waking upb. Noonc. Just before sleepd. During sleep7. Why is blood pressure high just after waking up?a. Due to normal body circadian rhythmb.

Hypertensive; needs medicationb. Always excited; alertc. Obese; needs to reduce weightd. Healthy; needs not to worry9. Which is true about Tom's blood pressure?a. His blood pressure is normal when awakeb. His blood pressure becomes normal as he sleepsc. His blood pressure is on the upper limits during the times that he works and lowers to the normalwhen asleepd. All of the statements describe Tom's blood pressure.10. What can you say about Tom knowing his blood pressure?a. He has a stressful day at work.b. His day is fun and full of surprises.c. His work depends on a hard labor.d. All of the choices may be true.11. What could happen during Harry's sleep?a. He will have a good rest and will wake up with vigor.b. He might have a stroke anytime during his sleep.c. He will have a restless sleep.d. None of the situations given will happen12. What can we conclude from learning about the blood pressure?a. Blood pressure fluctuates naturally throughout the day.b. Blood pressure depends on the activity of the person.c. Blood pressure is determined by the person's health.d. All of the statements above. B. Blood PressureYour asleep blood pressure is the blood pressure that matters. The time you want your blood pressure to beLOW, is not when you've visiting your doctor, you need it to be low, when you're SLEEPING.High blood pressure, it's a killer. No doubt about this. But, as with all things biological, it's complicated,because your blood pressure is going to move up and down, all day.High blood pressure can be a good thing.In fact, high blood pressure is lauded as a health move, that's why we're all encouraged to go to the gym,where it's good to have it up, momentarily. But if it is up, when you visit your doctor, well, then it is BAD. And ifit's consistently up, in the doctor's office it gets you a diagnosis of HYPERTENSION. And more often than not,a drug prescription. Because, as I said, high blood pressure is a KILLER.It's all about the timingBut it is important to realize that high blood pressure is A KILLER, when it happens AT THE WRONGTIME. And this is the caveat. The time you want your blood pressure to be LOW, is not when you've visitingyour doctor per se. You need it to be low, when you're SLEEPING. In fact, this is what your blood pressureSHOULD LOOK LIKE over a 24-hour period.142133124.US-106 -97Time (hours after awakening)Graph showing normal systolic blood pressure over a 24-hour period.Copyright 2018 Stichting European Society for Clinical Investigation Journal FoundationThere is a jolly big spike, when you get out of bed, and your blood pressure remains quite high for the first fewhours of your day. Then it takes a dip, in the afternoon, reaching its lowest point in the day, in the lateafternoon, before climbing for a second time, early in the evening. Once you're tucked in bed, it should take anose dive, dropping somewhere between 10 and 20 %. You might or might not be following this pattern.Dipping into healthWhen blood pressure is measured over a 24-hour period, this is referred to as ambulatory blood pressuremonitoring, three patterns arise. Here are samples of three different individual.Let's call them Dick (1), Tom (2) and Harry (3).23RakesPperEpperLeeLeeerTine eun ater anakeingTi thean ala ingTin (hean afer awakoningDick and Tom - will both have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. Dick, REALLY has a problem. Tom,NOT SO MUCH.NOTE: He is likely taking blood pressure lowering meds, probably un-necessarily, they're costing a fortuneand putting him at risk of other health problems.
