Blood pressure.
I started having anxiety about blood pressure as it can cause stroke and all. So i started monitoring blood pressure vesy often at this age. I used to see every day twice a day. Now most of the times when i felt something in my head or like pulling sensation or lighthead i would think any symptom is because of pressure increase. Most times it came 120/65 or 125-130/70. But sometimes it came 145/80 and then came down withing few minutes. Was this because of anxiety. Does blood pressure go high and come low tgroughtout day?. Should i worry about blood pressure at this age?

Hello,
Your BP varies constantly throughout the day depending upon your physical and emotional state. If most of the readings are below 140/90 then no need of any medicines. Transient rise in BP can be anxiety related
Take care
