I have the same problem. I have the exact same machine at my house as the doctor has. I usually read 120 to 125 over 80 to 85. which I check daily twice a day. When I go to the doctors once a year it is through the roof. I don’t get it.
It’s tempting to think that they might profit from your having high blood pressure, somehow, isn’t it?
“When I go to the doctors once a year it is through the roof. I don’t get it.”
It’s called white coat hypertension. Seriously.
You get nervous at the doctor’s office.
I recommend taking your BP monitor in with you when you see the doc and check it against what the doc reads. It also might be worth while to request a larger cuff at the doctor’s office.
Fear
White coat syndrome. I’ve had it since my early teen years. Since Obamacare I have had to switch doctor’s and I don’t think the new one believes me. I’m like doc if my blood pressure was normally this high I would have been dead years ago. Hate going to the doctor as I can’t stop the butterflies.
