I've discovered this problem along with cuff size. I tell doctors about my good B/P at home and store provided ones.
Nurses and Doctors don't listen and throw more pills at you, you get shocked looks when my first B/P numbers pop up.
At my last doctor visit at the VA I told the nurse my problem with white coat hypertension. She took my first 156/105 but then she took me into a quiet exam room hooked me up and left me alone. I had 3 readings, 125/93, 124/94, 132/93.
I lost a job because of poor medical personnel B/P taking.
