I Was Told I Had High Blood Pressure...They Were Wrong

I was told I had high blood pressure—but when I started checking it at home, I discovered something I never expected. My blood pressure readings at home were very different from what I was getting at the doctor’s office. It turns out there’s a reason this can happen: white coat syndrome, when blood pressure rises in a medical setting because of stress or anxiety. In this video, I share what happened to me, what I learned from checking my blood pressure at home, and why I believe it’s important to know your numbers beyond the doctor’s office.#retirement #retirementplanning #retired #llbean
