Blood pressure measurement - automated vs manual method

There is nothiing more frustrating than taking your BP on your automated home monitor before going to the Doctor's and it's 117/74. Then the tech uses the Doctor's office automated monitor and one hour later it's 150/80--white coat hypertension, or is it? I mean I use an Omron, silver edition, home BP monitor. Omron is touted as one of the more accurate home monitors.
So, one time the tech used a manual monitor, and it matched the Omron pretty close. There you go.

@proctors112 , it also depends on how they take it, are they giving you at least some time to calm down before slapping that cuff on ? Even at my cardiologist they v slap that cuff on as soon as I sit down. And continue to b talk with me while measuring.
