I could really use some advice. I have a terrible phobia of taking my blood pressure and I fear that I'm obsessing over it. I have a case of white coat syndrome and I don't how to get rid of it.
I have a wrist blood pressure machine which I use at home and I'm always a lot more relax and get good readings. When I'm at the doctor's office my heart rate is way high (130) and my blood pressure increases too. My last reading was like 137/80.
Has anyone cured their white coat syndrome and if so how did you do it?
I'm not on any anxiety medication or anything like that but I'm just so afraid or dying from a heart attack or stroke. I'm only 24 and shouldn't be thinking like this but I am. I heard of this natural supplement called "true calm". Do you think if I took that before my visit it would help me relax?
Thank you in advance!
