Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. From the description it is clear that you do have white coat hypertension. Your doctor vouches for it and all the tests vouch for it. Then you should not worry about that. You can try exercises, balanced potassium rich-anxiety curbing diet, psychotherapy and meditation. You need to calm yourself when you are in front of people with white coat. Meditation and psychotherapy will definitely help.
