I think I have that.
Why do I say that? Everytime I visit my Cardiologist, my BP never fails to go normal. Whenever I'm here my BP is always up and about. But when I'm monitoring at home, I usually get 130/85 maximum. 
My goodness I don't know what my doctor will give me. We are still waiting for him.
Wish me luck.

Good luck!
No matter what my blood pressure is at home, when I get to a doctor's office, it jumps higher.

@rakski I have a blood pressure machine on the headboard of my bed. I take my BP twice a day to see if I need to take BP medication... Then I keep my BP in a list in my phone so I can show it to my doctor at my regular appointments.

@rakski It's the only way to prove I don't usually need BP meds.

My BP fluctuates from being normal at the doctor's office and being a little high at home. In order to determine whether anything is wrong with my body, my doctor will frequently order bloodwork and check my blood glucose as well as my liver and kidneys.

With me, it happens the same that happens to DE. My blood pressure goes up at the doctor or when I am angry.

@rakski I remember that when the nurses were taking my BP just before one of my chemotherapy treatments they were worried and said that I had to go to a cardiologist. Just then the oncologist came by and asked me where had I gone before the chemo. I replied that I had gone to fight with the Health insurance company. She laughed, said that that explained all and told the nurses to go on with the procedure

Hmmm My mother also has high bp when she goes to the doctor for a check up. But when she's at home, it's normal or usually low.

@rakski It's good when I had my covid vaccine, my bp didn't shoot up. I was a bit nervous that time. It's been a while that I haven't had a vaccine or taken my bp. It's 120/80.

Good luck...maybe do some deep breathing exercises before you see your doc.

I honestly don't have any idea about what might be going through in your body. I think you have made some tests before. What does the doctor ruled out for your problems to be?
