“White coat” syndrome isn’t as ominous as it sounds. It’s actually just a phrase meaning someone who gets a little uncomfortable around doctors. Also called “white coat hypertension,” this phenomenon can actually cause your blood pressure to rise and give off false readings. It’s important to always be open and honest with your doctor about any apprehension so they can ensure you get the best possible care. Remember that they are there to help you, so you should have nothing to worry about.
