I experience the same thing. From as far back as I can remember. At home I’m consistently in the 110 / 65 or lower range (took a long time to get to that but I’m now on a good mix of meds) At pretty much every doctor visit it hits 140 / 90 or higher. And I know my home device is correct because I have brought it with me on my doctor visits and it gets the same readings there as their office device does.

Google white coat syndrome, it happens to me too. Many doctors are now using the Remote care partners to get accurate BP readings. A BP device with transmitting capabilities over internet is sent for your use paid for by Medicare to your home. Home readings are lower as they are taken in a relaxed familiar environment. It gives instructions on proper BP taking.
