Regarding white coat hypertension, the shot isn’t always necessary. Some people’s blood pressure just goes up from the stress of the clinical setting.

My BP at home? 140/90. I walk into my cardiologists office, do my BP? 107/60.

It’s not the cuff position as I used multiple positions, cuffs, and sensors. All 140/90. Plus I feel it.

It’s wild. My BP/HR fluctuates alot outside of clinical, but inside clinical it drops.
