can it throw your blood pressure up, last night it was running between 150/88 over 179/88 , mines never been that high. but i do know last two times ive been to dr it was 150's /160's  most time 134/70, not sure if the anxiety came before the bp or after because after the 150 reading it keep getting higher and i felt nerves.

everyone so far has been right. BP can go up duing an attack and I have also heard it going down. Remember that your BP can flucuate up to 30 points within minutes depending on what you are doing, temperature, emotions, etc.

Don't curl it much, I sometimes get readings like 175/110 when having an attack. But web I get a lil nervous it goes to around 140/90. I usually don't get redings like on the 160s I'm always on 120s over 70s

Yes, anxiety can raise your BP.  Often when we go to the doctor our BP is slightly higher at first and often the doctor will re-take it to get a more accurate reading.  Did your doctor address your BP?  Moniter your BP for a week, write down the date, time and take it at different times of the day.  Don't take it after you just ran up the steps after doing anything strenuous. If it is staying consistently high see your doctor.  You're at an age when we tend to develop hypertension, so it's imperative that if it's consistently high to make sure your doctor addresses it.  You don't want to let high blood pressure go untreated.  Stay away from caffeine, and salt.  Take care.
