Office hypertension: Bring your apparatus to the doctor and have it checked for accuracy and proper technique. If these are ok you may be experiencing the common phenomenon of office hypertension or white coat syndrome. I would be guided by your multiple readings outside the office rather than a single office reading although it might show you what happens to your BP if you are tense. Keep a good record of your bp.

Currently on Valsartan 40mg, home bp @11am was 107/66, @9pm 109/72. At DR's office is 140s/80s, 150s/80s or 180/90 (I was very nervous). DR office bp with Valsartan 80mg was 156/100, home bp 110/70. Do I need more bp meds?
My baseline resting home bp with Valsartan 40mg is around 108/64. Should I ask for a lower dose? Not sure if this is the minimum effective dose. Should my goal be under 130/80 or 120/80 or 110/80? In Dr's office bp spikes much higher. Using CPAP?
