People mentioned the white coat syndrome, but that's not the only issue.
I am not nervous when they measure my blood pressure, but I might have been late to my doctors appointment, so of my 25 min walk to the doctor, I was running half of it. I had non-optimal blood pressure values at the doctor, because I was running not to miss the appointment, and as I arrived, I had to immediately go get my BP checked.
After the incident, I religiously measured my BP at home various times a day for a week and my numbers looked okay.
