Since I've been having trouble with diverticulitis I've been freaking out everytime I get a heart rate/blood pressure reading at the doctors/hospital, which leads to them panicking and then I panic more and it shoots up.

Anyone else had this? Not great considering I'm probably going to need surgery soon.
