I don't get why they wouldn't want to retake it manually. Do you think maybe they didn't know how? Because it doesn't make sense.  But sometimes you get people with a one track mind way of thinking and even though they might get told something, they just won't budge from what they think is the right or only way.I have major white coat syndrome. They had me bring in proof of readings at home so they could document it into my chart. When it's really high they usually wait to take it again at the end of my visit so I've had time to relax more. That works to some extent. Manually doesn't make much of a difference. If I get used to a specific doctor and don't feel that it matters it can be normal, in a recent colonoscopy and being knocked out it was normal. When I was really completely tired from a horrible night and not caring, I was at normal. Worse thing to do is let me watch the machines numbers while it's taking it.It feels too much like a test I'm going to fail. But I periodically test at home and it's fine.</blockquote>
