Really worried

Sat here really worrying. Have been suffering from AF since May this year. Two failed cardioversions and waiting now to see an EP specialist. Started on Amiodarone in July and went back into NSR 11th September. The last week my blood pressure has been increasing daily. I am taking 5mg Nebivolol and 10mg Ramipril daily also rivoroxiban and the Amiodarone. My blood pressure up to this last week or so has been fine. I have been monitoring it daily for my GP to keep an eye on. Why is it suddenly getting higher 166/90 this afternoon. My heart rate is constantly between 45 and 55. Any advice greatly appreciated as I am getting really upset and worried. Thanks

Anxiety? My BP started to go up a month ago because my GP stopped my BP tablets, Candesartan , and didn't replace them but I also have two unstented blockages and have started wondering if they got worse. Needless to say my BP has got higher especially at night when i am expecting it to be raised. Seeing GP today. I suggest you impress on the GP receptionists that your BP is so high and you need to see someone right away. Do whatever it takes, burst into tears if you have to but insist.
