Anxiety or high blood pressure
So my dummy self has convinced myself that I have high blood pressure. Every time I manage to check my blood pressure it's high. But I feel that way only when I'm about to check it or the thought of checking it. But I also feel anxious all the time. When I see my doctor I give him my readings for me
