High blood pressure or anxious???

Question

ok..i m 22 and there are 2 doctors who told me i m having of high blood pressure due to my pressure shoot up to 160/75 but the other hand, there are about 5 doctors who told me nothing to worry about because i m anxious / frighten / nervous during taking my blood pressure.

It is true that when ever i steps in clinic i feel scared and my stomach would be cramp and heart beat increases as though i just finished my 2KM jogging.

Doctor advised me to buy i1 monitoring machine and monitor at home 1 week 2 times. i m doin tat but my blood pressure sometimes would me 130/70 or 135/75, some where this range!

Now, please advice me that should i take medications for this or this is just somehting which i need to over come myself by building up self esteem during taking blood pressure at clinic...where doctors told me i m suspected having white coat hypertension.

regards,

Answer 1

I have white coat hypertension but at home I measure about 110/70!

What you should do is take your bp at home like you are doing, but also write down the time of day and the date each time along with the reading.  After several weeks you will have a good record of your daily blood pressure levels and this can help the doctor and yourself get a better picture of what is going on.  

130/70 is still considered normal.  

Answer 2

130/70 is not normal and you are damaging your heart and the first person that posted is an idiot. Get your top number down.

Possibly look at this website to see if you are exhibiting other symptoms you may not be aware are mineral dificiencies. http://www.phpure.com/nutrition_products...

I CANNOT BELIEVE someone posted 130/70  is normal! MY GOD! Furthermore home blood pressure kits do not alway read accurately.
