Hi, My Question Has To Do With Blood Pressure And


I would recommend as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that these spikes in blood pressure values due to White Coat Syndrome are not harmful and don't need to be treated.
If your blood pressure values are normal most of the time, there is no reason to panic.
Anyway, I agree with you that these spikes may be harmful during medical procedures like endoscopy.
For this reason, one possible treatment option would be Xanax.
Another treatment option would be a betablocker before the procedure like propranolol 40mg.
You should know that propranolol can help reduce anxiety and also reduce the heart rate and blood pressure values.
Besides, during the procedure you will also be on a superficial anesthesia, to help reduce the discomfort and the pain.
I would also recommend avoiding caffeine and salt intake in order to reduce blood pressure values.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr.Ilir Sharka Cardiologist
