But episodes of anxiety can cause dramatic, temporary spikes in your blood pressure. If those temporary spikes occur frequently, such as every day, they can cause damage to your blood vessels, heart and kidneys, as can chronic high blood pressure.

Is this true guys? Everyday i have anxietyy.. please. :/

At 18 its likely your blood vessels , heart and kidneys, and blood pressure can probably stand extremes that they might not handle when your 70. As far as I know, all the bad effects of anxiety are mental and no fit person has died of anxiety.

As I've posted before I've rescued mice and young rabbits from my cat, which sometimes did n't survive until morning probably through trauma but for them it was the equivalent of being caught by 40 feet long sabre toothed tiger. You're unlikely to meet a lot of those.

Blood pressure will go up when you are very anxious. If your blood pressure is high all the time, you should see your dr and he can determine if you do have high blood pressure or not. If you do, he will prescribe meds which you need to take. You could also just be freaking yourself out by focusing on this too much. Blood pressure readings change all day, never stays the same but if it stays high all day, you need meds. You should along with taking meds, exercise daily , drink water and eat healthy. You are so young and i am sure that if you stay active and social you won't be focusing so much on this. Join a club, play sports, jog, or if artistic draw. Anything that keeps you busy so you are not just focusing on yourself all the time.
