I have always been described as being borderline as to whether need to take medication or not. Just before Christmas I was fitted with a monitor that I had to wear for 24 hours and it took my BP every 30 mins. This was to give a true indication of my BP, or do I suffer from 'white coat syndrome' ie BP rises when in the Doctor's surgery.
I will get the result next week, but my feeling is as much as I would rather not take medication if I need it then so be it.
