I’ve read that the EASA rules say that anyone with over 160/95 shall be assessed as unfit, but another website on Google says anyone over 140 will be rejected.
Id appreciate to get to know your experiences with this.

You won’t be rejected because of BP simply because there is white coating. Even if your BP is high during the examination as long as the BP is decreasing over time is absolutely okay. Also, if you really have medical condition which increase your blood pressure is absolutely fine to have medication for high blood pressure and it’s approved by EASA. Nothing to worry about.
A good doctor will never put you on medication just because your blood pressure is high during the exam. They can ask you to record your blood pressure at home for two weeks and they will see the average.
