A member asked:

My heart always skip faster when a health professional wants to check my bp or when i want to do presentation leading to elevated bp and i'm not hypertensive. what can i do to stop that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"White Coat Hypertension " is a well documented process and the stress hormones your body releases during the encounter are the trigger. If you can learn some relaxation/stress reduction skills it may help but I am not aware of anyone who would treat this issue with meds. Having a simple BP monitor (wrist device) that you can use at home to track this when relaxed is an option.
