Are you often worried and nervous when measuring your blood pressure?

Ask ‌
The doctor asked me: Normally I don't have any symptoms of high blood pressure, but every time before that I always feel worried and nervous about my blood pressure, so when should I measure my blood pressure? always very high, sometimes up to 170/100 blood pressure. Normally, I'm not as nervous as I was then. No matter what the situation is, I get a little nervous and it passes very quickly. I only get nervous when the blood pressure measurement lasts for a long time. Please ask if you are often worried and nervous when measuring blood pressure?

Hello,
Worried, nervous when measuring blood pressure, blood pressure tends to increase a little. But up to 170/100 mmHg is quite a lot. You should go to a cardiologist to have a cardiologist ask about your illness, examine you and give you a 24-hour automatic blood pressure measurement (Holter HA) to assess your blood pressure objectively and fully. pressure.
