Abstract
High blood pressure is a common problem in aerospace medicine. The standard for evaluating blood pressure in the United States Air Force is the routine blood pressure check and the 5-d blood pressure check. There is a subset of fliers with “office hypertension” who may be on medication needlessly. An Air Force “office hypertensive” is discussed. Home blood pressure recording and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring will identify these patients who may then be managed more appropriately.
