Please provide a tip on how to ask your doctor about high blood pressure.

Ignore: Measure BP with the same machine, in the same body position, in the same arm at various times.

Ignore: Ask your doctor what you should do when your blood pressure goes up during the day without meds.

Ask: Ask your doctor what side effects to expect if you're put on a blood pressure medication.

Ignore: Excercise running atleast 4 times a week will help reduce your blood pressure in addition to lowsalt.

Ignore: How high is too high and how often should I monitor my pressure?

Ignore: Ask your doctor for dietary recommendations to help lower you blood pressure.

Ignore: Check your BP at home. Ask your doctor if the BP in his office is higher—the white coat effect.
