By the way, remember that diagnosis are effectively made when there is clear understanding of " what is normal vs what is Abnormal.

So let me ask you: what is a normal range of blood pressure for you?

Have you checked?

It is only when you know your normal that you can confidently argue whitecoat syndrome.

Thank God,oblee season comes with the spirit of gifting,alot of philanthropist are out there in your village centre / popular centers,organising free medicals for you,not because they got nothing to do with their hard earned money,No

The best thing to do for yourself is look for 1 around you and make good use of it while it last

White coat syndrome (also called white coat hypertension) is when a person’s blood pressure reads high in a clinical setting (hospital, clinic, GP surgery etc) but is normal at home or in everyday life.

Why it happens
Anxiety or stress when seeing healthcare professionals
Fear of diagnosis or bad news
Past negative medical experiences
The body’s stress response → adrenaline raises BP temporarily

Key features
High BP in clinic 📈
Normal BP outside clinic 📉
No symptoms most of the time
More common in older adults, pregnant women, and people with anxiety

Why it matters
It can lead to misdiagnosis of hypertension
Some people with white coat syndrome have a higher future risk of developing true hypertension
Important not to over-treat with medication unnecessarily

How it’s diagnosed
Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM)
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) – gold standard
Multiple readings over time, not a single clinic reading

How to reduce it (practical tips)
Sit quietly for 5 minutes before BP is taken
Avoid caffeine, smoking, or exercise 30 minutes before
Take slow deep breaths during measurement
Ask for BP to be taken at the end of the appointment
Use a validated home BP monitor and keep a log

Treatment
Usually no medication if home/ambulatory readings are normal
Focus on lifestyle: low salt, exercise, weight management, stress reduction
Regular follow up
