A doctor has provided 1 answer

White coat HTN: This sounds like a commonly described phenomenon called "white coat hypertension" which basically means a patient may be stressed or anxious around their physician which causes the BP to elevate. If you are accurately checking your BP at home I would go with 130/90 as your true value.
