James here....I don't think it was "white coat" because I have not had this problem in the past and they kept me there for 2 hrs doing checks every so often. I had them turn out the lights and I did some medatation but the readings were still high. I am sure after they gave me the first reading (170/124) that it went higher than that ! I started sweating as if on cue. The doc was surprized that I was not having headaches, ect; I have been out of sorts and tired as of late. I have been under lots o stress lately with a new job, I moved in with a new roommate which has turned into a disaster, so I am moving again. Not to mention the total lack of organization in moving, a back alley abortion was better organized.
I do feel that longterm I can control BP w/o meds but for the short term I will need to be on them.
beta blockers and Antihypertensives effect the autonomic NS and allergy (some kinds) and ashama
are controled by autonomic NS. People on Antihypertensives with no history of ashama have developed ashama.j
