HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In your case, high blood pressure could be due to underline anxiety and in that case, you need antidepressant therapy. That would help you to control blood pressure. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. In case, you need further advise, you can ask.
