How can i get "white coat hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Office visits: Some individuals have higher blood pressures when they visit the doctor or the dentist (white coat people) than when they are relaxed. This is not the same as true hypertension. Careful measurement outside the office is important.
