I've been told I have white coat hypertension. My bp readings are 130-140/85 in doctor offices and usually 110-120/75 outside.

High bp runs in my family so I've been considering monitoring on a more consistent basis. I may have to try this out.

Mike here, one of the founders of Bettir. We'd love to have you try it out. White coat hypertension is one of the biggest problems with hypertension diagnosis. For those that don't know, some studies show 20-45% of people diagnosed with hypertension actually only have white coat hypertension, which means they don't actually have hypertension but that their blood pressure is elevated while in the doctor's office.

Home monitoring is one of the best ways to handle this, and it's a really good use case for Bettir.

Feel free to reach out to me at mike@bettir.com, we'll make sure that you get set up to use Bettir ASAP.
