Ok so short version
I was very anxious abt a female issue (which turned out to be fine)
At the doctors office my Bp was 180/80 & 124 pulse. I already know how bad that is.

I've taken bp readings at home before & after apt & all fine averaging arnd 114/77.

It's starting to go up today though. Slightly.

I was feeling great after my apt, even with the high bp reading bc I knew it was just because I was in a state of panic at the office. It's happened before, just not that high of a top number.

However, the doctors nurse called the day after my apt (yesterday), and informed me they were referring me to a primary care doctor bc my bp & pulse were high.

24 hrs later and I'm struggling. Big time. It's a viscous cycle. I worry abt my bp & it goes up.


Has anyone had the large of a leap in BP at the dr office?

I should also add that I had been in the waiting room for over 30 mins, but had just walked in the back and my arm was not at heart level when the nurse took it. Plus, they never retook it.

My husband is telling me to relax, that I'm fine, it was just the panic of being at the office. I wish I could just let it go.
