Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that his high blood pressure and high heart rate could be related to anxiety.

For this reason, I would recommend you to closely monitor his blood pressure values in the next days.

If his blood pressure values are above the normal ranges (125/85mm Hg) most of the time, I would recommend consulting with his attending physician and discussing starting anti-hypertensive therapy and a beta blocker.

Otherwise, I would recommend trying to focus on his anxiety. In this regard, Yoga and meditation can help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
