It doesn’t mean you were misled on purpose. Sometimes nurse practitioners, while very knowledgeable, are working through possibilities and making educated guesses. They may also mention things to help rule them out, or she might not have had been properly informed at the time, which can happen. She’s a nurse practitioner, not a cardiologist.

Also, just because some patients report it doesn’t mean it’s medically proven or that it’s actually caused by blood pressure.
