A member asked:

Bp normally 115/66 with 25mg losartan but recent appt. showed 152/94 probably due to white coat effect. scheduled for surgery. should i increase dose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Never self medicate. Ur prob right bout the WC HTN but any medication adjustments need to be done/recorded by ur doctor. The medications have effects on different organs that need monitoring.
