Cardiologist said i had "true white coat" when having blood pressure taken in office vs. when at home. i take bp meds. so, how would i lessen it?

BP: The data is clear that home BP is best reading. I am unaware that there is any reason to treat the "white coat " HTN. Simply be aware of it. As long as your home BP is good that is what is more important anyway.
