Anyone suffer from high blood pressure because they have health anxiety so can’t tell if they have actual health anxiety or high blood pressure? How can you tell the difference! Even if I do it at home I hate it and it’s high..
would I know if I had actual high blood pressure?

How high? Xx

I had this. Well thought I did, everyone told me it was whitecoat and caused by anxiety but it depends how high your BP actually is as there’s a threshold where whitecoat won’t make it go that high and it would lower after a few attempts. I had to do a 24hr blood pressure machine and was diagnosed with hypertension around 20 weeks and been on medication for it ever since. Feel free to message me if you have any questions! But it really depend how high your BP is (especially at home too) xx
