Specializes in Clinical Psychology

BP medications: There are many different medications to help w/high BP. Please start w/a visit to your doctor. He/she may refer you to a specialist if needed. Many people experience white coat syndrome and doctors know how to factor that in and help you cope. Peace and good health.
