Blood pressure anxiety

So i have anxiety of high bp that i may have stroke or i might get hypertension. But my bp remains 115-125/70-80. So yesterday i was sitting and suddenly i felt sweating and hot so suddenly out of nowhere i thought is my blood preasure high. Then i started feeling anxious and unease. Then i checked my bp it went 155-160/85 so i tried to relax and after a time it came back to 130/75 then i measure it next day it was 118/72. So was the high bp because of anxiety. I have had anxiety issues earlier. I went to a cardio 4 months back my echo and ecg were perfectly fine. Can bp go to 160 and is it normal. Or will i have stroke. Should i stop measuring my bp?

All your BP readings are within normal limits, the episode that you mentioned is definitely correlating with the anxiety and no treatment is required. If repeated monitoring of BP is causing anxiety issues it is advisable to avoid monitoring BP every day. Kindly work on anxiety issues or meet a con psychiatrist and get it treated.
