I have serious white coat syndrome. I had to have an echo this week and my blood pressure was through the roof when I arrived. Afterwards, back to my usual which is thankfully what the tech recorded in my record.
I also have a super bad history of having “difficult” veins and have had some horror stories having to do blood work. As such, I always schedule my blood work ahead of my physical so I’m not crazy anxious anticipating the blood draw. We get a discount on our health insurance if we meet certain biometrics so I don’t want an abnormally high blood pressure to screw that up ; )
