Hypertension
In april , I had typhoid , after about 1 month i faced difficulty in breathing and chest pain. . Iwent to doctor and on measuring my bp was 164/80 . I was very nervous at the doctor's office and my pulse rate was 120 bpm. He advised for an ecg . The ecg was abnormal and indicated a heart beat of 133 bpm. He referred me to a cardiologist . The cardiologist did a echo . The echo was normal . Pulse rate 100 bpm , bp : 160/90 . He prescribed me vinicor D 25 tabs and solopose tabs . After 1 month i went to doctor again and my bp was 140 /80 and pulse rate 100 . He advised me to continue my medicines for 2 months . My pulse rate at home normally remains in between 60 to 80 but at doctor's office i get tensed and nervous and my pulse rate increases . Plz . Help me . What can i do to avoid medications .
Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
If that's the case then it could be something called a "white coat hypertension".
Why do you have to be tensed at the doctors office.
He's not going to eat you up.
Do one thing, tell him how you are calm at home and nervous at the clinic and talk to him about the possibility of white coat hypertension.
He will do the needful.
Best regards.
