I have dealt with heart anxiety for quite some time, so I know what you're going through. I also have high BP but I'm 52, overweight, have a stressful job, don't exercise, and have panic disorder!
Your BPs are not at all unusual for a person who is under stress and dealing with anxiety. I once measured my systolic number at 173 when I was in a near panic state at a grocery store using one of those BP kiosks. My advice is to put away your BP device. Better yet, donate it to charity. But get rid of it because you need to stop monitoring your BP. You are 20 years old for goodness sake. Your heart is fine, but your head is messed up with worry about your heart. Beginning today, stop obsessing over your heart. It knows what it's doing. Instead, focus on living and enjoying life. Because right now you're making yourself miserable. If you can't do this by yourself, seek help from a therapist. Wait until you're older to worry about your heart. For now, just live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy life.
I am feeling alright today just tired and a tad bit anxious
Yessssss .. How are you feeling today ?
Thank you so much this has really helped me alot and today my blood pressure was 114/74 which is my normal
And to answer your question yes sometime when we stress over things our bp can still go up even if we took the pill I believe we stress over our hearts to much I'm still stressing over it still till today it's been 5 years and I'm still with this cardiophobia .. But enough about me try to relax you can always private message me if you like
Well I believe it depends .. Because I'm 25 and I take bp meds bvausw of my diet but since I've been eating a little better and using less salt my blood pressure has been better ... Do you eat with a lot of salt? But yes anxiety and stress can make the blood pressure go up.. Trust me I know I think you should go on a 30 min power walk to release some stress and accept that you will be fine ..
Really looking for someone who had experience
