When I measure my BP at home, I typically get 160/100, which I
consider too high.  However, when my PCP takes my BP in the office, he
typically gets 145/85, which he considers "acceptable".  (My BP has
gone up in the last year due to NSAIDs taken for treatment of
rheumatoid arthritis.)  

I have been taking medication to lower my BP for about 20 years now
and my BP was regularly at 120/80 or even 110/70 until I started
taking NSAIDs (200 mg of Celebrex initially daily, now every other
day).  Currently I take 25 mg of atenolol and 25 mg. Cozaar to control
my BP.

I recently discovered the reason for the discrepancy in readings.  My
BP drops about 15 points after even modest activity, e.g., a short
walk.  So my PCP is always seeing me when my BP is lowest.

I have two questions:

1) Is a drop in BP after activity typical?

2) Should I press my PCP on my moderate hypertension when I see him in
  two weeks for my regular checkup?  I spend much of the day at a
  desk, without much activity, so my BP is likely to be constantly
  high.
