Suggest Remedy For Severe White Coat Hypertension
I have severe white coat hypertension...when I went to a new doctor yesterday my BP was 174/104.I am so nervous and have had fears about seeing doctors all my life. When I when to Giant later and took it it was 138/87 and when I check it at Walmart it is always normal (120's-130's over 80's)...My doctor says it isn't good to put in my medication because then I will have hypotension. I have tried everything to relax before I go to a doctor but it just doesn't work..it is an automatic reaction.. Any thoughts?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
White coat hypertension is very common and in that case, there is no need to take anti-hypertensive drugs. You can try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing or benzodiazepine on sos basis. That would help you stay calm or relax in tense situation. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
