What Causes Nervousness And BP Fluctuations During 8 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

Hi I m around 8 to 9 weeks pregnant. Wenever I visit my Gynac I become very nervous so wen she checks my BP it always seems to be very high. Wen I get my BP it checked outside it s always lower than the normal range. Today my Gynac advised me to take Alphadopa daily one tab. What do I do to overcome this nervousness nd avoid my BP fluctuations??? This is my first pregnancy.
