Make sure that your elbow is at least as high as your heart when your BP is
taken.

I take my blood pressure at home (monitor is accurate) and it is normal,
but
everytime I go to the doctor or AME I get nervous as hell and my BP goes
skyhigh. Anyone have any good tips to overcome this?

How high is it when he checks it. Mine was a bit high, but still within
FAA limits
and I pointed out that I had white coat syndrome.

The other real problem is most doctors have absolutely crappy blood
pressure
procedure. And unfortunately like left turning tendency in aircraft,
these all end
up piling up on the high side.
