It is least likely that these two medications would be causing the increase in blood pressure.
Instead it might be because of your underlying condition (Anxiety / panic) that might be causing increase in Blood pressure.
In any case you will need BP monitoring and proper evaluation.
Next Steps
Consult your Psychiatry with these BP monitoring readings
Health Tips
Keep monitoring your BP 3 times a day for a week and then consult your Psychiatry.
