Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 85-year-old woman who still drives, volunteers, attends club meetings, is a voracious reader, and doesn’t need help. I take metoprolol, losartan, hydralazine and furosemide. My blood pressure is around 120/73 mm Hg during the day but spikes at night to as high as 150/94 mm Hg sometimes. I’ve had two doctors tell me that this is not a concern for my age.
