Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given details, I can surely suggest that you are anxious. Stress and anxiety go hand in hand. The high blood pressure with tachycardia without any cardiac or digestive symptoms surely points at anxiety and apprehension. You should learn to relax and handle the stress and anxiety. Do not take self medications. You may also be obsessed with blood pressure monitor. The moment you tie itto your arm, the BP rises, but in actuality it is not. Therefore please do not take BP medicine without expert advise. Continue the current medicines, exercise,do relaxation exercises, meditation etc. Psychotherapy treatment should also help you immensely.

If you still require my services on this aspect, you may post a direct query to me on this portal. Please include as many details as possible. I shall provide psychotherapy treatment tailormade for you which should help you good.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
