>    Yes....it was me.  :-)  Mine (BP) goes down  every time I eat 

My BP goes up every time I go to the doctor because of nervous energy.

I bet it goes up every time they take my BP.

Next time you go to the doctor, have the nurse take your BP before you see the 
doctor, then ask your doctor to take it at the end of your visit.

Many years ago I was an MD doing home visits.  I had and elderly diabetic who 
had lost his leg and couldn't ever find it again, but that is not the story.  
He was visited by me every three months and by a nurse every two weeks.  I 
received a note from his new nurse that his BP was elevated.  His chart with me 
always showed a normal BP, so I called the nurse who informed me that it was 
dangerously high, so on my way home I stopped and checked it- Normal ! So I 
figured that she just wasn't relaxing him- I always chatted with him for a 
while before wrapping his arm, etc.

I left a note for the nurse to check the BP on arrival, halfway through the 
visit and at the end,  The note to me was that all readings are too high.  So, 
I made a date to meet her during her next visit.

The nurse was very new, 24 years old, long blond hair, 36 D, 26, 34 in her 
tight, top partially unbuttoned uniform.  When she bent over and wreapped that 
cuff around Ned's arm he looked up into my eyes and smiled, I could feel my BP 
pounding through my body.
