You mentioned you are a mess and that made me kinda lol in a good natured way..that and the repeated bp tests cause of the anxiety kicking yours up ME TOO!!!! I am a diabetic and thus need meds so I HAVE to see the doc now and then to get a new rx lol....I lucked out when we moved here with a nice doc a female I usually prefer male docs.....and well she is cool about all my phobias and crap. She has a new nurse so I was alll tense about that thinking great a higher bp cause shes NEW and new nurses freak me (funny thing is I worked in the medical field hahahah) ANYHOW, I told the nurse when we met that I freak having my bp taken and she told me she is on Welbutin and we hit it off even hug now when we see each other...my bp first take has been way good :) So MY advice one mess to another is....tell them you have white coat hypertension right off and are doctor phobic they seem to be cooler about it AND you will feel less of a strain :)
