Hi all
I am suffering from a really bad phobia ie white coat syndrome, brought on by lots of problems last year. I was bad last week so went GP and she said do your blood pressure at home so I don't need to go to GPs. Which I thought was great so for the last week I have been great. I don't have to take it till August next year as it was fine 2 weeks ago.
But then yesterday morning I got a horrible thought Which went " Oh no say I have to go into hospital or A&E they will take my BP and I will panic and it will go up! What am I to do noooo!"
And since that thought I have been in a state. I know it is because my nerves are sensitised and it's hard to dismiss these horrible scary thoughts which makes your body go into a raging panic. Any advise to help me please. I feel silly having this problem but I can't shake it off. I seem to go from one bad thought to another.
