Dear sir

Xanax is alone not sufficient to control blood pressure, as it is indicated in palpitations it is not a potent antihypertensive drug.

It is adviced to consult your doctor and add another drugs which is effective to control blood pressure. There are lot of groups available like
1. ARB
2. Calcium channel blockers

So discuss and start it

thanks
