Life is a strange thing


We always have our good times and bad times. If we go to the doctors and listen to them we get conflicting information a lot of time. At my age I have been to a lot of different doctors from coast to coast, good one and maybe not so good one. I was in the Navy for just over 8 years, and for the most point back at the time I was in the Navy about all they cared about was making sure you were doing your duty. I got out of the Navy back in the late 70s and about a year later I went to the doctor for very bad headaches. The doctor took my blood pressure once and put me on blood pressure medications and I was on them up until I went off of them here in the last month. I ever since that time I have always kept a record of my blood pressure myself. I had very seldom ever gotten a measurement of more than 135/90, but every time I go in to a doctor’s office it will always be over 140/90 and it has not been until the my doctor that I have just lost due to a promotion that I was said to have white coat centrum. And what is bad there are doctor that still will not except that there is such an issue.
I can take my blood pressure myself and get normally 115/75 then step into the doctor’s office and it will be 142/92. This makes it look like I have high blood pressure, and for the longest time I was so upset about that and just could not get a good explanation from anyone. So if this happens to you do your best to talk it out with the doctors. It just may say you a lot of issue to. And as I do I believe you should always go in the your doctor’s office with your on chart of where you take your own blood pressure every morning when you first get up.
