One's blood pressure will almost always be higher in a doctor's appointment -- it's a well-known phenomenon known as "white-coat hypertension."

Thanks TBone,

Yes, you are right mostly in this kind of cases automatically you blood presser goes up. However my medical package is ready, I asked if there is any problem with my health or missing anything, she said no everything is fine! So I am just waiting for interview by end of this month. I need your prayers. Thanks again!

Hello friends,

I have interview in Montreal soon, I noticed by US Immigration Dr. that my blood pressure is high, I would like to know if officer can fail you because of having blood pressure? My blood pressure is 140/90 what can I do in case? I would appreciate your input if some one has experience and let me know!

Hi frank,

Don't worry about BP reading of 140/90. I am a pharmacist and you were probably anxious and nervous at the time of medical or seeing a doctor. This is common and called as "White coat hypertension". In order to diagnose some one with hypertension Dr. needs at least two or more readings and one reading is not good. Also, with 140/90 you are still in pre-hypertensive stage and can be controlled with diet and exercise. they can't deny you anything becuase of that. good luck
