Excess weight can elevate blood pressure.
I think that if we have anxiety most of the time our blood pressure can remain elevated and not return to normal quite as easily.
You might want to buy a blood pressure monitor for at home.
Good Luck.
Yes anxiety will sky rocket your blood pressure.
Yes, anxiety attacks can definitely cause high blood pressure. You also have some risk of high blood pressure because of your family history.
Yes that can be a reason, but if you are 16 and having panic attacks, you may want to get on some meds, because believe me… they can, and probably will get much worse. I started getting anxiety attacks right around that age, and they have done nothing but got progessively worse until I started taking medication. Also, try to loose just a little weight, it may help a lot.
Yes! I have severe anxiety and my BP is normally 120/70. When I’m having high anxiety, it’s through the roof! As long as your BP is usually normal, you should not worry about it. You might even keep a BP log (take your BP several times a day for a month). If the average is normal, then no worries!
yes it can i was put on anxiety meds because of that
You’re not the only one who’s a health phobic. I worry all the time. Before I actually started the ”worry phase” my blood pressure was 115/70. Now it’s 130/90. OCD doesn’t help either. Yes, anxiety sky rockets your blood pressure. High blood pressure (prolonged) can end up straining your heart and lead to some health issues. Try speaking to your doctor, there are a load of good meds out there that help.
