Re: Anxiety and Blood Pressure

well heres another "YES" to the group....I was at the Drs on Wednesday & was very anxious & of course my bp was 132/102!!!!! The nurse was amazed & asked that can my anxiety actually raise it that much & I said yes!!!
My BP is my biggest obsession, I have a home monitor & take it every couple hours. Sometimes I will have days that it stays low & then (like this week ) its staying elevated....just took it & it was 144/83....& I don't even feel anxious. I did just up my dose of zoloft & that sometimes will spike me for a week or so...Dr told me to keep it under 150/90, or else I need to go on BP meds....& I don't want to at all.
