See if they can do one of those 24 hour tests.  It's a bit of a faff wearing it but showed I was a classic 'white coat' high blood pressure person.  About 1 in 3 are.

But eventually over 10 years it crept up to the tablets for life state and I find that a right pain in the bum

Zackly. My mate Nod went to the hospital about a minor op. They explained it was painful, risky and not guaranteed to work. QUack then took his blood pressure which was, for some reason,  off the scale  ::)

Advised him to see his quack who checked and found it to be normal.  ::)

Also well known that nurses taking BP get lower readings than when quacks take it.
