Generally everyones BP is elevated by the doctors visit.
It's as natural as the fear of the dentist or just seeing a police car pull up behind you on the road.
My doctor would have the BP tested when I first got in the waiting room, and depending on what I had to deal with just getting there, it was usually border-line high.
We would chat for awhile, and he would check it again (after roughly 10-15 minutes) and I'd be fine.
Part of what I do to relax is breathing execises (like from the karate kid movie) and just relaxing and clearing my head of any stress I had on the way in. Although it's not a curetive measure, it doe s help relieve stress, and subsequently lower BP.
