You can get a waiver for whitecoat at MEPS. What Guppy said is true- they will temporarily DQ you at MEPS and give you a paper that you have to take to your doctor on three separate days for BP/pulse checks. But if you truly have whitecoat, it will still be high.But your doctor can write a statement to that effect and it should get a waiver. Then when you get to bootcamp and it's high, you will not be DQed because of the waiver.
Everyone gets sick, at least to some degree. Shoot, I got a ride in an ambulance for a two night stay in the hospital I was so sick, but it didn't roll me back or get me kicked out. As much as your RDCs threaten you, the worst that will happen is SIQ for a couple of days and you might have to make up a test or something. As far as injuries are concerned, most people get injured because they're not physically fit before going to boot camp and/or can't or don't run. If you can get your body used to running now, you'll be far better off and your likelihood of injury will be at a minimum.
