Here's one for everybody...
Anybody struggle with "White Coat Syndrome"? Basically...I went to get my 1st class medical...and was found to have tachycardia and mild hypertension, so my medical got forwarded onto OKC for review (which I was granted by the way via special issuance). I was sent to a cardiologist by my my primary physician...and I was put on beta blockers to keep things under control. Here's the thing...my heartrate and BP have been like 125/75 and 70bpm respectively. I went for my 3 month check up and it was 145/95 and 116bpm. So...my medication got bumped up a bit. However...I have been checking it outside of the doctors and its the same...anywhere between 125/75 and 120/70 and 60-70bpm.
I think I freak out at the doctor and there's really nothing wrong (except maybe for my brain...but I've known that).
Anybody have this problem...and what do you do to deal with it?
Thanks for your input in advance....
