Why is it that my bp is always high at doc office (140-150) and normal at home or pharmacy (110-130)?

Doctor anxiety: It is not uncommon for many patient to be apprehensive at their doctors visit which can raise their BP. The key is regular monitoring of both systolic and diastolic reading over a period of time and sharing those with your doctor for a proper assessment. The new BP machines have memory function which can help your doctor know your previous levels for the informed decision.
