White Coat Hypertension is the phenomenon that occurs when a patient measures their blood pressure at home and finds that the blood pressure is normal, but at the doctors office the blood pressure is found to be high. White coat hypertension is partly secondary to anxiety. Ambulatory blood pressure monitering can assess BP at home. An EKG-electrocardiogram, or an echocardiogram-an ultrasound of the heart may also be helpful.

I agree with righton56. Please add your phone number as I have had white coat syndrome and I know I would not have it if you were my physician. Are you married?

you are such a cute doctor. I doubt that I would have white coat syndrome if you were my doctor.

My husband must have this problem. I check his blood pressure at home, and it is always under good control. But when he goes to the doctors office, especially the lung doctors office, his blood pressure is always high.

I found this information so helpful especially since my husband has the syndrome.
