Hey there. I just read your original post, what are the odds. I can relate 100% to your story. Like you, I've had some elevated readings in the past (within the last 4 years), but being anxious, the docs always chalked it up to white coat.

Now I don't know what to believe. I'm fearing that in the past 4 years I've developed some deadly disease. But my rational side says that the 140+ readings only occur as a result of situational anxiety. And I'm mentally stuck in that zone of uncertainty.
