Time to head off to bed. It was good while it lasted but all good things must come to an end. Weather wise it was a perfect weekend. The snow is almost all gone. Tomorrow afternoon I have an appointment with the cardiologist. I will get the results of the blood work I had done. I hope my blood pressure will be good. It has been good for the most part when I check it but I know when work was stressful it was quite high. It is usually high when I go to the doctor because I get nervous. The doctor I had years ago told me that I have White Coat syndrome. Whenever I see a doctor my head starts racing and my blood pressure rises. Anyway off to bed I go. Enjoy mylotting my friends and I will see you all again in the morning.

Don't be nervous when you go to the doctor. Just relax and think positive so your BP will be normal. Anyway, there are medicines.

@SIMPLYD , That feeling cannot be avoided because of her white coat syndrome, unless controlled.

that's right. She should feel relax so that the doctor can get her correct blood pressure.

It's my first time to hear about White Coat Syndrome. I think I have to search about it. Have a good night sleep.

@cacay1 It is said that white coat syndrome is when the blood pressure surges when measured in the doctor's office. Maybe the reason why her blood pressure raises or becomes high is because she is nervous.

Yes a lot of times the first reading will be extremely high and they will make me sit there for 20-30 minutes and come back to me and see if it drops.

Try to relax, my friend. If it will definitely rise up your blood pressure secondary to stressful concerns, I am sure it would be fine. Good night!

I think many of us have 'white cost syndrome'. Sometimes the doctor takes our blood pressure twice and it is often a bit lower the second time.

Whenever one goes for a doctor's appointment -- either getting there by bus or driving in heavy traffic, it is best to take at least 30 minutes to relax before having one's pressure taken.

I know that there is no way to relax if you have white coat hypertension. My blood pressure is very low, but my heart beat races when I see a doctor. This is not something I can control, this happens even when it's my brother (he is a doctor) who checks my heart beat rate.

Low Pressure is as bad as high blood pressure. It is a terrible feeling to get like that when you see a doctor.

I hope the result is fine, try to eat fish liver, deep fry them to have stronger nervous system .That was what cured me. I was a nervous teen before and I have read a health column in Reader's Digest how to have stronger heart and the remedy is to eat fish liver or chicken. I deep fried them and I was the one volunteering to clean the fish hehehe after I read that column, and I am so thankful to God for guiding me that page. I have now the strongest heart and nervous system that dictates all body system. Just try it, who knows it would also work for you.
