Every time. I need to wait at least a half hour before it settles down. And my left arm is always about 10 lbs pressure lower than my right.

Hello @docein,
Thank you for sharing that! Interesting to hear about the difference in readings between your arms, this could sometimes give a better sense of your true blood pressure.
Do you find any other techniques, like deep breathing or listening to calming music, help reduce the initial stress when you’re at the doctor’s office?
Take care,

Hi everyone!
How are you doing today?
Have you ever felt nervous at the doctor’s office and noticed your blood pressure reading was unusually high? This phenomenon is called white coat hypertension (or white coat syndrome), where a person's blood pressure spikes in medical settings, often due to anxiety or stress from being around doctors or healthcare environments.
