Dealing with Medical Anxiety: How to Cope with White Coat Syndrome

I have to make dr and dentists appointments but my anxiety is thru the roof. I have white coat syndrome and I fear the blood pressure cuff. I’m not scared of procedures or anything like that I’m just nervous about getting my blood pressure taken. How do I cope with this? Anyone feel the same with this issue?

i do. I noticed some days are better than others. If my bp is too high i just reschedule. I get so nervous it goes up to like 190/105. They can also give you something to relax. I had a breast MRI and it helped a lot.
