Suggest Remedy For BP Fluctuations Caused By Anxiety

I was put on dialysis about four months ago. I am taking many blood pressure meds. When I go for treatment at the dialysis center my bp spikes and I can not relax. I am worried all of the time and tense about my health and fear the worse about my condition. This dialysis is all new to me and came on very suddenly, I am only 67 and not ready to die yet. I hydrazaline lisinipril, coreg and sometimes clonidine for bp. would this help me. my husband is ptsd and it seems to benefit him better than hydroxyzene

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Stress and anxiety are biggest risk factors for fluctuations and poor control of blood pressure.
So we should definitely treat your stress and anxiety first.
For this, I advice you to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution. You will need anxiolytic drug before dialysis.
This will calm you down.
Counselling will also help you.
So consult psychiatrist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
