Blood Pressure and White Coat Syndrome
Dear all
Over the past few years my BP has been rising and last year I was put on medication to reduce it. I am monitoring it regularly at home and it is getting towards the normal range. However, whenever I go to a GP or AME it spikes quite a bit.
My GP has kept copies of my monitoring figures and is not especially concerned, as the meds seem to be keeping things under control. I am more worried about how the AME will view this, as last time he insisted on a letter from the GP after some weeks of monitoring.
Apart from losing a shedload of weight really quickly and taking up gym membership, what else can I do?
