This case presentation illustrates the importance of 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with white coat hypertension, as many progress into sustained hypertension over time. Also, it serves as a reminder not to overlook a possible underlying sleep breathing disorder in patients who are not obese or fatigued. Finally, the case provides an opportunity to review the value of non-pharmacological and lifestyle approaches to the treatment of both white coat hypertension and sustained hypertension.
