Hi,
It would be worthwhile if you had mentioned your age in the history.Nevertheless, let me assure you that Benefiber which is a dietary fiber doesnot cause increase in the blood pressure.
Lately, If you are anxious and stressed out, I suggest you to modify your lifestyle.
A low sodium intake is also a step in the right direction.
Hope this helps.
