I had an appointment the staff was extremely nice, patient & all around respectful and frendly. However, my bp was sky rocket at the office in which I am very aware of " white coat syndrome" since i normally have hypertension and it will go up maybe 10 degrees. But over a year my bp has been 120/73 in that range taken everyday at home without the lisinopril. So how did I get there and I just taken it at home and it was 120/70 and their bp machine was reading 193/93 I believe. I said this is incorrect take it again, it was lowered by 30 degrees but still not my normal bp reading from home.
So I go home and take a lisinopril the doc prescribed and after an hour the bp reading was 92/63 very very low and i felt light-headed. My advice to their medical profession team is to get new up-to-date accurate bp machines because if I left home with a normal bp the reading perhaps it should have gone up slightly but not drastically. So basically I am not going to risk taking a prescription if it is making my bp dangerously low. For this reason I have switched clinics and found an actual primary care doctor not an assistant or np.
I cannot trust innacurate bp machines with my health. I know my normal readings for over a year without the meds and its NOT 193/93
