What Is The Treatment For High Blood Pressure?

Yes I have a weird question to ask and I have had a fear of getting my blood pressure checked for years now everytime I get it checked at doctors office its sky high bc I get so worked up and nervous and I try telling my doctor that I don't get this worked up when I'm about my daily routines and I just wish I knew if I was okay or not to ease my mind.

Hello
welcome to HCM.
Some patients get anxious when they visit the doctor and their readings get high because of the anxiety . This is called white coat hypertension. But we must ascertain whether you have high BP when you are doing your normal activities also. For this I recommend an ambulatory BP monitoeing. In this test, a machine is attahlched around your waist with a cuff around your arm which records BP at specific intervals throughout the day while you go around your normal activities.
This way you will be able to know whether you have high BP when you ate doing your daily activities.
Please do an ambulatory BP monitoring and revert back with the results.
wishing you good health .
Regards.
