I think white coat syndrome is super normal, everybody and their mother is just in a different state when at the doctors /especially in a hospital.
@Brun I think it's good practice to wait at least 5 minutes after getting off the bike, then take a reading, wait five minutes and then take another. Sit and chill during that time, don't run around, just relax.Last time I was visiting my dad I saw him using one of those little (quite inaccurate) wrist blood pressure monitors; he had just gotten up from his bed and, looking at the display, he mumbled "ah, pretty ok" with a fag in his mouth.
Don't do this.

A friend of mine has the white coat syndrome something awful. He once fainted when having a gym induction.
I am currently cycling Camberwell to Homerton Hospital on and off for medical things and always mention it in case they thing I've got a problem. Maybe I do have a problem.
