Hi,

I know exactly how you feel, when I was first diagnosed with HBP I felt the same way. The diagnosis can sound very scary but you can manage your HBP . I would suggest that you maybe try to take a meditation class or yoga this might help with the HBP and anxiety. Please don't worry everything will be alright. You just have to focus on other things that make you happy and take your mind off of the HBP. Try this website you can began to meditate here if you like. I hope this helps out.

I had the same problem. Still do - a little bit. But it gets better. People say you need to focus on other things, which is true, but very hard to do at first. It helps, I think, to know that other people are having the same problem. We get through it.

Are you using birth control pills? This might be affecting your blood pressure, too. Here's a blog post about how they affect each other:

I know what you are going through. I suffer from the same thing. I am so scared of the BP monitor it is always higher and I can feel it. The BP meds I take (metoprolol) make me light headed sometimes too...especially if I take it with hot food or drink. If you can manage your anxiety and know that all these symptoms are from that, it will get better....

try to think of the positive to get your anxity down. Your blood pressure is not that bad, its in the mild stage. Just by losing weight it may even come down to the point you can come off the medications (with your docter's ok). Anxity raises my blood pressure a lot higher then that. I would be happy with your numbers if thats how high it gets when your anxious. Try some magnesium, its suppose to calm your nervous system.
