Brief Answer:
This situation is not harmful for the heart.
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
I understand your concern and would explain that some spikes in blood pressure values or heart rate are quite normal during anxiety and they don’t cause any harm to the heart or blood vessels. It is quite a physiological reaction.
Tylenol doesn’t cause any harm to the heart.
So, try to relax and don’t worry about it!
