I hope you're doing OK. yes, I've had the white coat syndrome in spades one year. My vision went, just like that. My husband managed to get off duty to take me to the hospital. i was in the Tripler hospital, and went to fill out the forms you had to ... but was too blind to do it. A medic helped me. An older lady started to literally attack me, because the medic was helping me when she asked for (uneeded) help. She just didn't feel like filling out the forms. Then, while my blood pressure and blood for tests were being taken, the woman walked in and physically tried to attack me! The medic just laughed and said, we can disregard this blood pressure measurement!
Then I went to a VA clinic, many years later, and I swear, half the guys there (I was actually their first female vet!) were sitting in a row, smoking, with their oxygen tanks for emphysemia lined up next to them. My doctor actually wondered about my blood pressure. Hell, lady (she was a woman), I just walked through a line-up of men smoking next to oxygen tanks. Yeah, my blood pressure is up.
I'm generally an even tempered woman. My husband claims I had the nicest menopause he's ever seen. But, come on.
