Blood Pressure Phobia
I have some fear of measuring blood pressure. When I measure at home it is somewhat okay but when I go to any medical practitioner it goes very high. Problem started few months ago, I have no history of high bp. I do not have bad habits like smoking, alcohol etc. Blood sugar normal.
I need to get out of this problem because it is creating problem to me to get a job or build my career. Please guide what should I do. I am helpless.
