High BP

[ladydoot]

I’ve had super bad stress/anxiety the last 10 days. Like fighting it almost constantly. I’ve been to the doctor twice since then and the first time my BP was 127/90. On the high side but the doc said it was just my stress. Today it was 147/97! Once again the doc said it was probably stress because I’m 38 and dont drink or smoke.

So of course my anxiety is now worse because I’m afraid of heart attack or stroke with BP this high even though doc said I should be ok.

Anyone else had BP this high because of anxiety? And how long is this ok for?

Thanks.

Oh yeah. At my last exam mine was 162/82. I hate that office and always get worked up there. You aren’t alone in that.

A BP of 147/97 is high but nowhere near the danger level so your doctor is right not to be concerned x

Thanks so much for that. Makes me feel better about it

Sure did mine spiked to 210/103. Very scary

My worst was 177/117. Mix of Effexor and panic attack. Had to quit Effexor.
