[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2016154, member: 420515"] Wow, I didn't realise white coat syndrome was so common. I'm the other way around. Measurements at home are consistently 136/96, but in the consultants weighting room 128/82. I got curious at one point and took my own machine in, thinking it might be calibrated wrong, but no, it's a genuine effect. I have lower blood pressure at the doctors. Weight is also different, but I stand on the scales naked at home, and can't see the doc approving that! [/QUOTE]
