Ask your GP to put his name stamp on it and perhaps just a note saying

In my opinion robin has white coat syndrome and these readings demonstrate to me he is normotensive

Not sure it will work, and this has come up before, but hopefully common sense will prevail. I would be more interested in the drugs you are taking....

Let us know how you get on
Had the same problem, 24 holter B/P monitoring, with the prescribed medication came back within normal range, sat next to cardiologist far higher recording.
