I had much the same experience, including "white-coat" syndrome, but ignored rather than argued. I was very athletic when young, and I have an enlarged heart and my BP jumps around quickly, and I used to drink, and numerous MDs have "noticed" it. They fall into two groups, those who just prescribe 2-4 drugs to "try", and those who inquire first, and then don't.

I had similar results with Co-Q too, good stuff, esp. when you get older.
