[quote=Anonymous]I just got put on Norvasc last week. Its funny, I went in the week before to get blood drawn. They ended up taking my BP after they took some blood. The tech noted that my BP was good. The next week they took the BP first, and I was definitely apprehensive about the annual physical and my BP reading was elevated. I thought about pushing back on going on meds, but in general I've been seeing my readings go up over the past year or two. I think I'm accurately in the "elevated" or stage 1 range for hypertension. I'll monitor at home now regularly. It does seem to make sense that if you BP is peaking out of a healthy range at the dr., then it may also be peaking at other times. So, "white coat syndrome" may not be good excuse for refusing medication or treatment. [/quote]
