A few years back I developed this weird thing. I didn’t even know it was a thing until my doctor told me it was. I’ve never liked going to the doctors but at some point in my life my body began to show physical signs of just how much I didn’t like it.

My blood pressure goes through the roof and I actually break out in hives. I get red blotches on my chest and neck and sometimes even on my cheeks. I can’t control it. I hate it. The fact that it happens makes it happen even worse. Like now I not only get anxious about going to the doctor but also about this “white coat syndrome” as my doctors call it. I wish there was some way to make it stop.

Does anyone else experience this at all?
