I have a personal example of this. My father died largely because of his annual physical. He hated doctors, became nervous around them and thus expressed hypertension in-office. He did not have material hypertension but did defer to his physician. Over the long term, despite my best efforts, this killed him.
His blood pressure medication regime was poorly managed and severely impacted his quality of life. He eventually suffered a syncopal episode while climbing stairs and died.
