White Coat Syndrome
Does anyone else suffer from doc anxiety?
I have GD and have been so successful in controlling my numbers with diet and exercise. I take my BP at home regularly and it's literally perfect. I don't have headaches, swelling, etc, and I'm 31 weeks!
I went to my doc this morning and my BP was 138/100 even though I had taken it literally right before I left for my appointment and it was 120/72. Anyway, since it was high today I have to do another 24 hr urine test, weekly monitoring and doc visits, and also another ultrasound next week.
I know this is all precautionary but I'm getting so frustrated with myself that I can't keep calm at the doctors. I didn't feel nervous but my body apparently was :(
Does anyone have a similar experience?
