My blood pressure has usually been all over the place. Starts in the morning at 128/76 then 6 hours later after a road trip to the local hospital at 170/80, sit down for 10 mins, 140/80, nurse checks again 15 minutes later up to 150.

It usually settles back down to 130/75 but I'm worried about it.

I would like a blood pressure doctor recommendation  at Khong Kaen University Hospital for the Saturday After Hours Clinic if possible.

Sounds like you're not very fit, so slight exertion and white coat syndrome raises your BP rather easily. How's the exercise program? Keeping track of heart rate as well? But if you haven't had a heart checkup in the last year, it'd probably be a good idea, I guess. Consider also the blood work.

Any cardiac history? Diabetes? Other underlying health problems? Makes a difference as to what type of specialist to see

Thanks for the reply. 

I just monitored my BP hourly over 2 days and it was around 130/78. Only when I drove to the hospital it always goes high up to 170, but when I drove home back to 128.

Not going to worry and will get it checked when I go and visit in January.
