♪ ♪ >> eric: time for sunday

house calls. joining us is mark siegle and author of the inner pulse unlocking the secret code of sickness and health. >> jamie: also dave samadi who is the new chair of lennox hospital and north shore l.i.j., long island school of medicine. big change. >> it's a great honor. joining the team and also it's a wonderful health care system and to be able to develop a great yourology program and the hospital. it's a great honor. we had a fantastic time at mt. sinai, it's a great opportunity. >> jamie: for anyone who needs to know that robot it will be there, too. dr. siegle. >> i want to congratulate

david, it's a very prestigious position, a great hospital. actually bailed out medical center after hurricane sandy. a great facility. >> your great partner and great friend and good colleague of mine. >> jamie: we can help you out. 67 million americans have high blood pressure. it's a disease that has such a huge role in heart and kidney disease. then we found out this brand-new study that finds too many people are being treated for high blood pressure. how can that be too many peoe, 67 million have it. >> this is an important study. came out minnesota where people are looking at something called ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. i tell you what the problem is. someone comes to see me with high blood pressure

and they have i'm nervous or two cups of coffee before their appointment. we use three memories over time before we make the diagnosis. maybe the same time of day we're not checking at them at night before they go to sleep or after exercise. i personally don't like the home monitoring equipment that patients use themselves because they are inaccurate. but a.m. by lar laer to blood pressure monitoring has been found five milliliters meters of mercury and 15 minutes to half an hour throughout dated. this is a really waited to go. 1500 of these in united states. mostly used by hypertension specialists. we need more of these. they are about $1500 each but they cut down costs. if it's diagnosed

inaccurately it's a problem. >> jamie: what do you have to add on this? >> i think the technology measuring blood pressure is outdated. the blood pressure cuff that we use it's coming from 1800 over a century old. we need to come up with better ways to measure blood pressure. you go to the doctor you run up the stairs and blood pressure will be high. out of 67 million americans that are diagnosed with high blood pressure 13 million are overdiagnosed and with all these medications without any need for it. one of the newest things and i think this is going to be future is the measurement of central blood pressure as opposed to peripheral. right now they put a cuff and that is called peripheral. i think central blood pressure that measures the pressure in the aorta is

much more accurate and new research that is much more related to the cardiovascular disease. talking about the studies that came out of london actually this week, now when you wear your watch instead of looking at the time you would see your blood pressure. that is important because it gives you a continuous way to monitor your blood pressure. as mark mentioned best time to measure it is when i sleep. now you can bring that to your doctor as microchip in it and gives you a very accurate way of measuring central blood pressure. >> jamie: i know, you want people to stop smoking and eating so much. >> first of all, david is right about central blood pressure. i wanted to add before doctors start pushing those pills, lifestyle changes is key. get people to exercise and lose weight and get them to stop smoking.

>> jamie: quickly, costs of this technology? >> it's very expensive and more expensive than the 13 million people that are overtreated, way more. there a company called sigsigma poor and gives you the blood pressure so it's much easier. >> eric: doctor, you mngsd a new study dealing with painkillers and heart attacks. a study says it increases the risks? >> it's not so knew because we had this problem with viox this is large scale study over 300,000 participants. its very legitimate study published. if you are on a prolonged treatment for arthritis,

inflammatory and taking non-steroidal medications for about a year, high dose, you increase the risk of death and heart attack by threefold. medications -- how much are we talking about. 2400 milligram of ibuprofen and especially if you have heart disease to start with. naprosin did not increase the risk and that is an interesting finding and may have a protect active factor. if you take for it short periods and few days, if you have a joint pain, that is okay. you have to be careful about being on these for a long time. they can increase blood pressure. >> eric: i go in the morning, do i switch to naprosin and what about baby aspirin?

>> this study is looking at very high doses, 2400 milligrams of ibuprofen. >> eric: what is that? >> three tablets. advil is 200, you would have to have 10 of them. this is prolonged use at high uses. we're talking about the heart here where there is a one-third risk of heart attack death and stroke, but there is also an issue regarding the kidney. when you start pornography all these non-steroidal drugs into the kidney, you get damage to the kidney and myhat is the reason you are seeing all the heart disease. kidney is not geared to take this non-steroidal assault every single day, >> jamie: warmer weather means you are going to spend a lot time outside

it. most of the time if the tick is on you for more than 36 hours that is problem. you may get a rash 60% or 80% you will get a rash. that will help you because you can get treated but may get fever and you may not know where it is coming from. antibiotics especially doxcicicline can cure you. if you have a tick out you, get the head out and pinsors out because you could still get lyme disease. you need blood testing i would like people to use insect repellent with deet. you have to put deer fencing up. >> jamie: doctor, what else

do you want us to know? >> besides the symptoms you may have headache and par analyzed face. you may have even depression. i think this diagnosis is black box. i think it's very difficult and patients get very frustrated. number one, only 15,000 people are affected by this. epicenter is massachusetts but there is overlap with other diagnoses. some people may say this is fibromyalgia so the patient may go from doctor to doctor and be on some antibiotics without any result. the frustrating part of this is how do you diagnose it. you may not have the bulls oo rash that mark described. the other disease. it takes a month of antibiotics, arthritic lyme you get three months but

sometimes the symptoms can go on for years on antibiotics. still the diagnosis of exclusion that is why you have patients that are frustrated. you have to go through the testing and talk to your doctor. >> jamie: and don't ignore it. >> eric: a lot of men have been taking testosterone supplements. are they the right choice for you? the doctors' advice on testosterone coming up. and you wouldn't have it any other way. but your erectile dysfunction - you know, that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure.

do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or if you have any allergic reactions such as rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a 30-tablet free trial.

>> we are back with the doctors. there is a brand-new study that finds the number of middle-aged men taking testosterone has increased substantially over the

last few years. how do we know if we should take testosterone or not? >> a lot of times, it's as a result of a diagnose of male menopause, when your testosterone slows down, you are going to have the symptoms of fatigue, low libido, weight gain, et cetera. you want to talk to your doctor about this. unfortunately, i think the number of prescriptions have almost quadrupled and i think there is a lot of knee-jerk reaction. every day, there are ads and clinics opening up. you should be very careful about who should be on this. you want to make sure you take it early in the morning when it's really high. never check it in the afternoon. always check free testosterone. ask your doctor -- not the total testosterone, but what is the free testosterone. there are a lot of conditions that can reduce testosterone.

for instance, obesity can convert testosterone to estrogen and depression can do it. so treat the underlying disease. there is a benefit as far as testosterone, as far as heart condition and prevention of osteoporosis as well, there is a risk of getting clotting and acne and breast enlargement, so you want to talk to your doctor and find out what your number is and then treat it. >> what do you say when you go to the doctor? >> the good news is, i can be they detective. if i can find the problem, kirefer the patient to david to find the solution. it's controversial, when to treat. i check testosterone levels in all men over the age of 50. i get suspicious if they are gaining weight, the way david said. if they are gaining weight tcould be because their testosterone is low. same thing with cholesterol. if the cholesterol is going up, i am wonder figure testosterone is praying a role. diabetes, heart disease is

related to low testosterone. so i don't want people to have the problem. sometimes, there are other issues, like thyroid disease. sometimes i fix the thyroid and the testosterone problem is less. people with prostate cancer, daiferd's specialty, are at risk for it. i worry about that and i check the psa at the same time. if you are on testosterone replacement therapy, you should be your psa followed. >> how crucial is that? >> there is no cause and effect of testosterone and prostate cancer, but there is a strong association, if you are at high risk -- african-american, family history, you want to make sure that you check your psa before you go on the testosterone and if you want to make sure you monitor your psa very closely. >> very good advice as always. >> but how this? a brand-new reason to slather on the sun screen this summer. a recent study suggesting it's

didn't use sunscreening, when you are bathing, keep re-applying the sunscreenful you prevent the sunburn and you can decrease the risk of aging. there is a dramatic finding. not blinded -- not a perfect study, but very dramatic. i really believe in the result. >> jamie: how's the sunscreen working out for you? >> i don't know how practical it is for me at 5:00 a.m. to put the sunscreen, adding to the shaving cream and the cologne. the way your skin looks fresh and young is number 1, hydration, it's about elastin. that's a rubber tissue under the skin. as long as you are well hydrated. that's a great thing and you want to protect the elastin, that's where the spf comes in. a lot of people think it's during the summertime, but even in the wintertime, you are exposed to t. i will give it a try and get back to you next week. >> i thought you looked younger.
