Blood pressure normal at home higher at doctors?
When your blood pressure (BP) is normal at home but higher at the doctor's office, this is called "white coat hypertension." Some individuals are more anxious in a hospital or doctor's office; they may or may not appear to act differently, yet their BP is elevated.The opposite condition (BP is lower at the doctor's office) is called "masked hypertension."Ambulatory monitoring (BP is automatically measured for 24 hrs during normal daily activities) has been used to examine these phenomena.Both conditions had tended to be dismissed as little more than curiosities. However, a recent study in the journal Hypertension suggests that these are associated with development of hypertension years later.

What is the difference between pulmonary hypertension and regular hypertension?
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessel, and is one of the principal vital signs. Arterial hypertension or hypertension or high BP can be an indicator of other problems and may have long-term adverse effects. Sometimes it can be an acute problem, for example hypertensive emergency. Types of hypertension usually are primary and secondary, in that alcohol induced, medication induced, pregnancy induced, isolated systolic, isolated diastolic, white coat hypertension (BP due to stress) and malignant hypertension or hypertension emergency are present. In medicine, pulmonary hypertension (PH or PHT) is an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries, together known as the lung vasculature, leading to SOB, dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms, all of which are exacerbated by exertion. Pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure. So both are different terms.

Is 155 74 BP good bad or dangerous?
Your BP should be 120/80. Your level of 155/74 is just a 'snapshot'. So it would depend on your age, weight and height, medical history and just where this was taken and when it was taken and who took it and what did they use to take it. Your BP varies from a usual lower one in the early morning to ups and downs during the day. If some one upset you, it will be higher, if some thing really scared you, it would be very high. The BP reading you get from a regular RN or MD will be the most accurate. Those that measure using wrist monitors are not good.I usually have normal BP until I go for a check up at my doctor's and then it sky rockets. He calls it 'white coat hypertension'.
Is 137 87 blood pressure normal?
This BP is in normal range. 102 over 87 means Systolic BP is 102 and Diastolic BP is 87. The normal range is Systolic of 100-140 and Diastolic of 60-90.However, the interesting thing about this BP is that the Pulse pressure which is defined as the difference between systolic and diastolic BP, is narrow.Narrow Pulse may be seen in normal people but can also be seen in heart failure, arteriosclerosis, markedly decreased intravascular volume like dehydration and diabetic ketoacidosis.
