Whenever I go to to the doc, I get nervous and my blood pressure shoots all the way up to 140 (the low end of high). As soon as I leave, it goes back down.

So today, I have to wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours. Every 20 minutes it goes off and apparently tonite while I'm sleeping, it'll go off every hour.

They told me not to look at the readings because it makes people nervous. But I looked So far it's been 110/77 twice and 123/83 once.

Maybe you need to see a new Doc if this one makes you so nervous?

I could recommend two or three or four here at the Health Center if you want to make a switch.

Oh and thanks again for the gift MBC - Laura and I used it over the weekend.

It was a Dakota Gift Card - perfect - it covered dinner and the tip.

 

[TreeSaw]

Lots of people get nervous and anxious at the Dr. office...you're definitely not alone! It's nice that you are able to check it at home and see that you are fine though

 

[I Are Baboon]

Bethca her blood pressure rises soon as I walk in the door tonight....

Sigh... Mark, couldn't you have just played along a little bit?

 

[splat]

Lets see how high you can get it !!! , does it keep track of Pulse rate too?

Have they made you do a stress test yet ? If they haven't , request one .( I Found having a stess test was fun )

Some people.................... sheesh.

Got to ge a good work out , with a really Big heart rate monitor/BP CUff and it kept track of every thing. Don't knock it till you try it.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Just curious - what makes you nervous when you go to the doctor?

 

[Westy]

I got funny looks last year when I went to the doctors and they measured my HR at 46 bpm. I use the time stuck waiting for the nurse to get relaxed and get the HR down.

 

[MtnBikerChk]

Just curious - what makes you nervous when you go to the doctor?

I dunno.

It's a real thing though.... it's called white coat syndrome.

Nervous or excited?

I've done that too. just relaxed and gotten my Pulse down below 60 for them ( never made it to 46 ).

My normal BP is about 120-130 over 70-80


that is what Really freaked me out this past summer, when they admitted me with the lyme menigitis I was in the ER lying in hte bed , I had been ther e for over 2 hours doing nothing , when they hooke me up to a Pulse-oximeter and I noticed my Pulse was over 115.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I dunno.

It's a real thing though.... it's called white coat syndrome.

I wonder if it would help if the doc was naked.......

The bulge under his lab coat?

 

[SkaredShtles]

The bulge under his lab coat?

The way he *always* uses laughing gas on her? Even when he's simply testing reflexes?

 

[MtnBikerChk]

eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww


LMAO!

 

[binary visions]

The way he *always* uses laughing gas on her? Even when he's simply testing reflexes?

The way he mutters under his breath, "you got a real pretty mouth..."?

 

[SkaredShtles]

And that nurse of his..... she looks a *Hell* of alot like a porn star..........

That place is good. To bad I can't afford a cad ride, then the meal, then a cab ride back. Mark, when are you going to take me to dinner some night?

Why did you get funny looks? If you're athletic, that is good.

 

[The Toninator]

If you’re nervous shouldn’t your HR be high but not necessarily your BP? I have recorded high BP’s after sitting in traffic, long day at work, etc before though. Not ‘every’ time.

Lucky you but if he had been right it could be

So I'm thinking safe than sorry is probably a smart course.

Oh wow, wow, that is just to much!!!!

 

[GiantRider]

Yea , im the same way,every time i go in it goes up at least 30 points at both ends.

I'm pretty sure that if MBC has a prostate that's going to be a big surprise to a lot of folks.

[Silver]

I've got the same thing. I'm in the Dr.'s office, and my BP is 130/90 and my heart rate is about 80.

Back home, or anywhere else, my BP is 110/70 and my heart rate is in the mid 50's. I just hate going to the doctor

so if it's hypertension then you really do have a high bp?
