Why can't I get my BP down? Need answers from my doc at my annual check up in a few weeks. I welcome comments/suggestion

31. My BP is always very high in doctor's office

When they take my BP in the doctor's office it's ridiculously high, like 160+/90+. When I take it at home, it is almost below 120/80. I've been a runner for over 40 years, my pulse is usually in the low 50's to even in the 40's. I have never had high blood pressure in my life but I always have high blood pressure when in the doctor's office.

I'd get a blood pressure cuff for home and take your blood pressure periodically to get a true measure of your blood pressure. Make sure you wait about 5 minutes after sitting down before taking it, even at home. And make sure your arm is at the same level as your heart when taking it.

(NOTE: I take pictures on my phone of my home blood pressure readings to show my doctor)
