Hi
Thanks for the query.
A few people get anxious in the doctor's office and this causes the blood pressure to increase.
To confirm if you really have high blood pressure, the following things can be done:
1) Check your BP at home using a home BP machine
2) Do a 24 hour ambulatory BP check.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
