Good afternoon all!
I have always had high blood pressure when I go to the doctor's office. If I have the same nurse everytime I get used to her and my BP doesn't get so high. Well my doctor lately has been going through nurses. I went in Friday and it was a new nurse. My pulse was 140 and my BP was 148/80. I know it was because my anxiety was raging. Well the doctor seemed concerned and had had the nurse come back and check it again. As soon as I knew that my heart started pounding. So then it was 150/80. Now I have stuck in my mind I have high BP. Normally at home watching TV my pulse is 55. So I am telling myself that if my heart is racing when I am nervous of course it is going to be higher.
I have a bp machine and I used it this week. I was so nervous when I first got it out and my pulse was 140 and BP was 143/90. So very close to doctor's office. After sitting there and taking it multiple times, it averaged 115/70 and pulse back in the 50's. Sometimes even lower than that, as one was 108/65. Well I keep telling myself that I can't rely on a home machine and it could be inaccurate. But if it was that close when my pulse was the same at doc's office it has to be kinda close.
I have had the same bps in the office before and other times it has been 110/60 in the office. Is it just my anxiety level doing that?
Just wondering what everyone else thinks or if this happens to them!
Thanks!!
Edited to add that I am a 27 year old female, 5'6 and 140 lbs. I also run 3 to 4 days a week :)
