In my experience, doctors readily dismiss high blood pressure readings as due to the white coat syndrome, as you mention. But, if a patient’s BP gets higher when seeing a doctor, isn’t that relevant? Other experiences as well may raise a patient’s BP. Are those reactions factored in when assessing BP levels, to get a fuller picture? Or are readings at home, sitting quietly, all that matter?
Penso che per evitare la sarcopenia , bisogna fare esercizio fisico ed integrare la dieta con proteine e vitamine che in etaa' avanzata tendono a non essere piu' assorbite dal nostro organismo perchui si va incontro alla vecchiaia con tutte le conseguenze .
Thoughtful answers, thank you.
