Hello, I'm suffering from past 1.5 years from continous anxiety, depression, I continously overthink, until I make a mountain out of a molehill, during Anxiety attacks, my BP goes Upto 185-195/115-120, This is considered as Hypertensive crisis, as these levels are dangerously high, plz suggest is it normal to have such high BP during anxiety attack?? And tell some medication to maintain stable BP during anxiety atyack

You are quite young to have a blood pressure in that range. It will require tests to rule out other causes of high blood pressure apart from anxiety. It would be wrong to take bp medications based on a chat conversation.
