I woke up with head hurting and bp high. Then it will go down and back up never had this happen like this before anyone have bp problems

How high is it going? Do you feel stressed or anxious?

Yes more aggravated than any but yes when your bp r something goes up it kicks in 150/97 but went to er and they checked me and said nothing bad bp was 140/85 there so I don’t know panic maybe

I am glad that you went in to get checked, and that all is well!! As you know many things can make your blood pressure go up, fixating on the number can even make it go up lol. I know it can be hard as I was there myself, but I would limit how often you are checking it for now. Remind yourself that all is well. I hope things start settling down for you.

I would agree not to focus on it too much. I have dealt with high bp for 8 years. When I started having anxiety attacks earlier this year, I automatically obsessed with checking my bp....which automatically read high if my anxiety was high, and in turn both would sky rocket. A very vicious cycle.

I am on anxiety meds and blood pressure meds now, but if I have on off day, both can get a little out of whack!

Try to relax, if your bp gets too high, try laying on your left side for a while.

Best wishes to you!
