You appear to be worried about changes in your BP measurement. Do not be preoccupied with it. could you please specify content of KALMS which you feel could relieve you of anxiety. It appears like some sleeping pill. It is recommended for you to relax till you get ECG done, carry out light activity. Anyways you are taking amitryptillline which could help you to relieve anxiety symptoms. If the symptoms persists for long then please get a review from your treating team
