Hi all so to cut a long story short I went to the doctors last week as everytime I wiped my nose hard I would bleed a little, she said she couldn’t see anything however just to be on safe side she decided to check my blood pressure which was high she checked it 3 times and we came out with an average of 153/127 she said to her it feels like white coat syndrome due to my health anxiety. She arranged for me to get a 24hr monitor and take readings every morning and evening as well and submit them. Since I started monitoring At home it has give down considerably the top number goes down to normal and the bottom one is still high but under 100 now. I rang doctors today and asked if my 24hr monitor results are here and she said yes they were and that I need to book a ‘ rotuine ‘ appointment , she couldn’t tell me anything more and now my health anxiety is through the roof, am I right to think if the levels were really bad they’d wanna see me straight away? And not wait till new year ? And reassuring words will be helpful I’m assuming routine means non urgent and can wait ?
