Guest guest Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I know a number of people who have high BP when at the doc's office, but immediately goes down when they leave the office! changes in blood pressure Nurse Pat, Really good article. My blamed blood pressure will always be 15 to 20 points higher when taken at the doctor's office. Only once was it the same as it was before I left for the office. (LOLLOLLOL) The doc placed me on some blood pressure medicine and I crashed with a reading of something like 70 over 42. I decided that this was *NOT* going to cut it so we had a little friendly chat. Nearly the same happened with my heart rate. I tell you, these medicines can be as much of a hazard as the original problem. Cy, The Anasazi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 This is what I have, and I took blood pressure medication for two years because I had a doctor take one reading and decide that I had hypertension. Kind of traumatic for a 25-year-old to be told that! I finally switched doctors (due to other reasons as well, and generally feeling like that one was incompetent), and my new doctor got me to stop the medication and take readings for two weeks at home, and declared that I have white coat hypertension. Meanwhile my endocrinologist had been saying it was probably white coat hypertension all along, too. So a year ago I stopped the medication and don't have high blood pressure anymore.
