Treatment if high: Start recording BP with the date & time. People with white coat syndrome have higher incidence of high BP.

Repetition helps: Doing it at home several times a day, even if you don't look at the results can make it less scary as a procedure. It is your stress hormones that cause white coat HBP and if you make the process routine the stress fades & you get more dependable numbers. At some point you relax & the numbers seem to stay in a range. They are often down at home unless you really have HBP & should be treated.
