Do you notice your blood pressure readings are only high when you go to the doctor? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. That blood pressure spike is often called “white coat syndrome”. It’s a common belief that the blood pressure spikes are from the stress of being at the doctors office. While true, it can also be considered as a precursor to developing hypertension. New research out of University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia found that people suffering from “white coat syndrome” were 36% more likely to develop heart disease. Based on this research, scientists are suggesting that patients closely monitor and check their blood pressure outside of doctor’s office. Don’t have an electronic blood pressure cuff at home? Most pharmacies have a free reading station. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Kidney disease is on the rise in the US and scientists may have figured out why. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Two Thirds of chronic kidney disease cases are caused by ether diabetes or high blood pressure. In 2012, farmers in California, Florida, and Colorado died of kidney disease, but they didn’t have any of the usual risk factors. Until now, the reason why remained a mystery. Researchers at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus observed that the farmers had been exposed to heavy amounts of pesticides. Similarly, Sri Lanka has faced a kidney disease ‘epidemic’. But this time, not only were farmers affected, but also the people who were drinking the well water. The pesticides from the plants were being washed into the water supply.
