By the way, doctor. I read in your July 2003 article on the new blood pressure guidelines with interest because I have high blood pressure. But one thing bothers me about articles on blood pressure: they always seem to talk about blood pressure as if it were the same number all day long. In my case, the systolic pressure can vary by 30 points and the diastolic by 15. So which should you use as your blood pressure reading: the average, the highest, or the lowest?

By the way, doctor. After a recent blood pressure check, my doctor bumped up my dose of Lotensin [an ACE inhibitor] from 10 milligrams to 20. I had been taking the 10-mg pill in the morning, but my doctor advised me to take the new, higher dose in the evening. He said most strokes and heart attacks happen in the morning, and that I could get better protection by taking the drug right before. But I read in the Health Letter a couple of months ago that you recommend morning intake, so I am confused

Ask the doctor. Instead of nibbling on chips or crackers, I usually snack on nuts. I'm on a low-salt diet for high blood pressure, so I buy raw nuts at the store and roast them at home. Does this affect their fat or vitamin content?

By the way, doctor. I've been on warfarin (Coumadin) since 1979 after having a Starr-Edwards valve put in. The cardiologist insists on aggressive therapy and wants my INR at 3.5. But I've had several serious bleeds in the past year and was hospitalized three times. What's the current thinking about adequate INR levels for patients with metal heart valves?

By the way, doctor. I went through menopause about 10 years ago and have been taking estrogen therapy ever since. My uterus was removed because of fibroids, so there is no risk of endometrial cancer, which is why I am taking estrogen without progesterone. Should I have a bone density scan? A lot of my friends are having them, but I'm not sure how this test could alter my therapy

Ask the doctor. I had an EKG done a few weeks ago, and the reading came back "probable inferior myocardial infarction of indeterminate age." I am, to the best of my knowledge, perfectly healthy at the age of 72. Now my doctor wants to do a bunch of tests on me. Should I go along?
