Anxiety will, almost by definition, raise your blood pressure. The big question is whether the increase is temporary, or long-lasting. If it's long-term, then your doctor will probably prescribe something to control it until you can get the anxiety under control, too.
How much is your peak blood pressure with anxiety

Mine peaks at around 169/100, when relaxed is normal. On betablockers and Citalopram. My bp sky rockets just talking. And same even on the phone
Yes ,same was the case with me when i used to get panic attacks,my bp would go up the same range as you have ,but after i took treatment for my anxiety,it is completely normal
Citalopram and betablocker
I’m the same way . Now it’s to the point that when I see a blood pressure machine it raises ! My doctor won’t even take it at the office because it can go as high as 200/100 during panic attack !
But I take it at home when I’m relaxed and keep a log so he can see the trends. He told me to never ever take it during a panic attack - but I don’t listen ! It’s a vicious cycle! But treating the anxiety is key like Samdoc stared above! Unless you actually have high blood pressure then you need to take your medication regardless of anxiety !
