Hi guys, I need some reassurance here...I've been really concern about my blood pressure lately. I'm 24 years old. I exercise at least 5 times a week, not overweight, don't smoke and drink occasionally. I don't know what it is but every time I go to the doctors or even sometimes when I take my BP at home, I start to feel real nervous and I can feel my heart racing. My normal readings are usually around 118/75 but sometimes I can get them as high as 140/80.
I'm just so worried because I consider myself to be extremely healthy! Has anyone figure out a way to overcome their fear of white coat syndrome. Once I get a bad reading it just ruins my whole day. I'm afraid I'm just going to die one day, I know its a normal though for us HA suffers.
