Need opinion...would you go on this medication?

So for many years I've had white coat syndrome, where because you fear your blood pressure might be high you get SO nervous, that it goes really high while being checked. I can only get an accurate reading when my doctor does not tell me or announce she's going to check it. Then I really don't realize what she's doing till the end, because we are chatting a lot. It's normal at rest, without anxiety.

So she knows that I get anxious on other occasions outside of the office, in traffic, etc my blood pressure does probably go up during those times, a few times a week. But, it goes back down to normal in a couple minutes. She wants to put me on a blood pressure medicine, to be preventative, so that down the line, my heart is protected and that the vessels aren't harmed over time. But my pressure is normal. It's only a few times a week it goes up for a miniscule time. I've read that anxiety does NOT HARM THE BODY. My therapist even thought it's a bit much to go on a med if it's not ACTUALLY regularly high.
I'm afraid of it now going low if I went on it. Would you go on it? It's a low dose, but still 🤔🙁

Have you bought a home blood pressure cuff? They're not too expensive — I just got a new one for about $30. That way, you can take your BP whenever you like to avoid the white-coat syndrome and show your doctor that you don't need BP medication. Or to show you that you actually do.

@DunningKruger Unfortunately any cuff , will cause my anxiety to shoot up. Even home ones. Just fearing it will be high, yet already knowing it's not high. How messed up is fear???? And my dang mind ugh.
It's only if we are blabbing on and she often will not tell me, and I actually really don't notice because we're talking so much. It's the only accurate time. I appreciate that though.
I just know it's not NEEDED is what's making me not take it, it's preventative.... If I knew for sure I'd have no effects like dizziness etc I'd do it I guess.
