Just as a bit more info.....I suffer from white coat hypertension....basically being scared of the Doc. My last class one renewal revealled a BP of 160/90..which set alarm bells ringing at the CAA...however I am bloody fit, healty..eat mostly the right stuff......and im a normal weight. After speaking to my GP....he suggested an ambulatory BP monitor....basically this measures your BP at set times over a 24hr period. It turns out my average BP is 110/72...and the CAA are happy. Just a tale to show high BP may not always be what it appears to be.
