I left a specialists office because the staff had a nasty habit of walking me UPSTAIRS and then straight into a chair with the cuff going on.
I was pretty sick at that point and bedridden at times so going upstairs had my heart rate meeting Jesus for the first few minutes of activity.
They tried to take me off my medications that could be “raising your blood pressure before you have a stroke”.
I went to a sane office who asked me to continue daily home monitoring and accepts my current pcp’s measurements.
Somehow the drastic intervention in the prior paragraph has ever come up again.
