Oh, but you said that your bp was 126/70 and that was somewhere around what you normally are?

Well any sort of cramping can definitely cause anxiety.  Your blood pressure seems a little high on average and it is probably a good idea to talk to your doctor about starting on a blood pressure lowering medication.
