Anxiety issues and high BP
Hello
How much fluctuations in BP is normal during anxiety. I have anxiety disorder and I am under therapy for that. My BP fluctuates a lot some days normal some days high. It's very confusing if it's because of anxiety or i have a high BP. Some readings are like 160/90 and some are 141/84 150/90 148/85 130/80 128/78 too many variations taken on different time of the day. Some i feel headaches dizziness blurry vision and nausea with it other days I am all normal. Done all blood tests ecgs echo all normal. I have cervical issues as well. Kindly advice. Thank you
Rise in BP or fluctuation up to 140/90 MMG is okay during episodes of anxiety anything above and beyond is not normal and considered high blood pressure.
If it is happening, recurrently and anxiety is the reason for your high blood pressure levels, you should first get treatment for your anxiety, and even then if your blood pressure is remain on the higher side, you should start treatment for your hypertension from a cardiologist
