Yes, anxiety stress and exertion increases BP. It is better to check the BP in resting state regularly, while a single reading of 140/90 has no much effect. If there are other symptoms of anxiety it is better to consult.
Next Steps
Monitor the anxiety symptoms and how it’s effecting you if it’s chronic and get a help
Health Tips
Healthy diet. Yoga meditation and moderate exercise would help with both physical and mental health
