Blood Pressure & White Coat Syndrome

I've been lurking for a few months and it's time for my first post I'm applying for my class 1 medical and have white coat syndrome. Blood pressure tests at home are usually normal, but usually record high at the doctors etc. I was looking at the CAA hypertension flowchart and was wondering about the limits allowed. Sorry, as I'm new, the forum won't allow me to post a link to it! It seems quite clear that during the medical you have to test 140/90 or below. If you're put on a 24 hour blood pressure monitor, what is the limit allowed on those? Is it 140/90 still or is 160/95 allowed without having to be referred to the cardiologist?

Thanks!
