Hello,
You are overweight. You can modify your lifestyle by doing regular exercise and weight reduction it will help in reducing your bp. And anxiety can not be seen in echo its in your thought. If after doing lifestyle modifications also your bp remains high then you may have to take medicines lifelong.
Take care
