I get terrible readings at the doctor's - all over the map. The last couple were in the low 120s. But I've sometimes had much higher. Some visits I'm anxious due to a medical issues or waiting to hear test results. Most of the time it's super rushed and right after you've walked down the hall and during questions!
DH called it "white coat syndrome" and also measured his BP at home, where it was noticeably lower. I get mine checked when I donate blood monthly, so it's under calmer circumstances with the same equipment every time.
