hi, thanks for writing,, i have understood your concerns..

yeah the symptoms you have experienced can be a part of anxiety attacks. person also feels that he will be going crazy or he will die. there is also a feeling of impeding doom.

whatever medications you were given must be appropriate for anxiety because you are improving,..

you blood pressure is on a border of normal and higher. so you should go for regular BP monitoring at lest for 3 days in a week. if it continues to come like this then you can take beta blocker propranolol which decreases blood pressure as well as controls anxiety.
you have been diagnosed properly and on appropriate treatment. what is your age? if your age is more than 60 years then once you shud go for ECG.

i hope this will be helpful to you,, best of luck.
