Suggest Treatment For White Coat Hypertension
What can I do if I have a very bad case of white coat hypertension? I can never get a normal reading at any clinic. I know I don t have high blood pressure- I get it taken at home and have normal readings. I m just an anxious person by nature, and something it about getting it taken at a clinic just stresses me out. I know it sounds pretty weird but any insight would be helpful. Thanks

Hello,
I can very well understand your condition, but you already have given the answer to your question. You know you get anxious or stressed out easily and you have taken multiple reading at home which came out to be normal.
So stop hunting for your blood pressure. For your information the normal recommended range of bp for an adult is up to 140/90 mmHg. If your home reading is within this range then you need not to worry for your blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
