question: hey i am 25, went for a general check up last week to find that my bp was 180/100 , i felt fine before i went to docs, but dizzy n shaky during the time there, and as soon as he said, can I take your BP  I starting to get panicky and immediately knew it wud be high, my heart rate went to 125 bpm and i felt generally restless. He told me to keep going to get it checked, which I will, and did so 3 days ago, i was still very panicky when i went to my local pharmacy but it was down to 160/90 which i know is still high but cud this be white coat hypertension? cos i am otherwise healthy? high bp and thyroid probs run in the family but i keep getting this thing into my head that there is something really badly wrong with me (that also reflects my nervous attitude) and that if there was, id rather not know. thank you for reading this, hope you can at least reassure me somewhat, Leah, UK
