Taking a BP in person during a medical consultation, while stressed out because I know I have a very limited amount of time to do a verbal data dump of a large amount of information in a good way never fails to give me extreme values.
It also never helps to explain that this has happened many times before and that I have a reasonably high quality BP measurement device at home (most recently the exact same Braun model) that gives me decent measurements when I'm at rest/relaxed. They just look at me like I'm an idiot. How could a civilian conceivably perform such a complex measurement?
Then I get the predictably insanely high measurement and they look satisfied. Gotcha!
