Good day my fellows. I have been having strange feelings in my body. I have been through a whole lot of pressure tension anxiety , depression due to lack of job, no friends around and so on. I stated checking my bp @ first it was 130\80. Some told me its a little high. Somtimes when I check it I record 140\90, 160\90 @ worst 170\90. When I want to check I use to be scared. I embarked on daily exercise so I checked again I recorded 130\80smtimes 140 \80 . I use to feel some kind of pain in my shoulder , tightness in the left chest, burning sensation in the upper left bone wchich radiates down . When I feel such feeling, I alwys conclude its high blood pressure . I'm so confused on what to do . So I don't know if truely I have high blood pressure or is it due to depression unhapiness, anxiety and somtimes panics that is causing those symptoms. Pls urgently reply

I'm not sure how much help I can be... Whenever I go to the doctor they check my blood pressure and they always have to check it at least 3 times. Why? Because I have anxiety and syke myself out thus making my
Blood pressure high. They tell me to relax breathe and not think so much. Then check it two more times and sure enough it's normal once I've calmed down. I can't tell you if you have high blood pressure or not. Have you thought about seeing a doctor? If you have anxiety/ feel panicky when taking your blood pressure it will be higher than usual
