I have anxiety about once a month and all through last December. I was tense all day yesterday. I have a habit of checking my Bp an awful lot and obviously I worry more. I take Xanax .05 every 6 hrs if needed. I took one at 7:30 AM and went back to bed. At 11;30 took my Bp and it was150/101. I have a wrist meter that isn't giving me good reads so I jumped over to a cuff meter. It was 151/113..pulse 78. It errored 2x. Worry worry worry. Last read was 134/ 94 on the wrist but 104 pulse. No chest pains, just tense, loss of appetite. Bp was as high as 194/ 140 in ER in Feb for vertigo. Doc told me I needed to work on my anxiety. Concerned.
