I used to go to a clinic very popular with expats. My BP measured around 155. At home my Omron showed normal.
So I took my unit to the clinic and had a nurse check the old manual way. It matched my device, not theirs. No white coat syndrome for me.
In fact, I disregard the readings at most hospital check in. If you get them to check again in a minute it will be a good bit lower but still high.
At home, take 2-3 readings at least one minute apart.
100%, but a lot of employers also seem to just be looking for Caucasian, regardless if you're NES or not. I think I've got no choice but to go home and do a PGCE to get any kind of edge in this game.
