Anxiety??

[gws1018]

Hey everybody, I'm seventeen, physically active, 6'2" and slim. i went to the doctors about a week or two after school started in september to see about a skipped heartbeat i had, an i had a blood pressure test and echocardiogram. the blood pressure test showed my blood pressure was 140/90. since it was mainly the systolic that was elevated, he said it's probably white coat syndrome and i was just nervous, since i had a physical in august and it was fine then. I went back for another blood pressure test and again it was elevated, but i was nervous again, and he said have it done in a cvs so i'm not as stressed. i have been stressed ever since my first appointment. the extra beat is gone, but i have had new symptoms in the course of a month that never happen more than one symptom at once and never when i am at soccer and usually not in school(when my mind is somewhere else). these symptoms include:pounding heartbeat, heartbeat/rushing sound in my ears, trouble getting to sleep at night, fatigue during the day, headache in the temple area/right above the nose(happened on and off for a week but not since then),  irritability, inability to enjoy social events because of the anxiousness/symptom, cold sweat in hands an/or feet, malaise(rare), and a burning feeling on my neck and chest. these symptoms only happen one at a time, never at the same time, and once again usually when my mind is not preoccupied. today my right leg fell asleep and went numb and for some reason i freaked out my feet and hands went cold and sweaty and then my legs hurt for a little while, then i took a shower and its subsided. any opinions on this? i'm pretty sure it's anxiety but i'm still freaking out..

Hello, all your symptoms are those of anxiety symptoms. The BP will automatically rise when someone is anxious or nervous. The symptoms of anxiety mimic the symptoms of any disease u have in mind. So best thing to do to reassure urself, is to do an ECG and talk about the stress with your doctor. He might be in a better condition to talk to you. But dnt be nervous as u show symptoms of anxiety. If you feel these symptoms, don't start searching on the net because this can result in more anxiety. Hope this piece of advice will help you. Any more problem, just post it here. Thanks
