Mine, too. The VA had given me a home bp thingy - don't know why - and it's come in handy. When one doctor told me my bp was too high, I started taking it in the morning of my appointments. Fortunately, various doctors have accepted that - so far.

I can remember a nurse saying that noise, talking, being in a doctor's office, etc., had nothing to do with bp. Now they're saying we're supposed to relax for 5 minutes. How did I figure that out years ago & doctors are just figuring it out now?
