[QUOTE="Fallenstar, post: 232590, member: 36659"] Hi Elc Yes I get white coat hypertension...bad,sometimes. The last few MOT's have been good...128/75 ,118/70 last couple.....but I did have a few before that when I was battling for meds, so stressed...At 175/95 ,168/90ect, infact they wanted to put me on BP meds,but because I have a monitor at home on an evening I was getting some readings as low as 90/ 50 :shock: My blood pressure is normally on the low side most of the time, sometimes too low. Usually my home readings are 110/68...So I would have been in a real mess on BP meds if I had not have put my foot down, this was just on a few isolated high readings :roll: Keep testing to see your true picture, and stay away from them BP meds if you can...nasty stuff I ve heard. It does look like its the old white coat syndrome, stress does rise BP and if you have the readings at home you have above, I would not worry about it. [/QUOTE]
