bonnie14, that is true. If you have rabroadP as an underlying condition, anxiety is definitely going to make it go up (I have this issue). If you can see your doctor though, you should be able to get it (BP) under control with medication or relaxation techniques.

When I first encountered this it scared me to death, but you can control it.

Good Luck!
 
That's my experience too -- I have both rabroadp and anxiety. It's a vicious circle -- when I'm anxious my blood pressure goes up, which makes me more anxious, and the more anxious I am, the higher my blood pressure goes. I take medication for both the bp and the anxiety, and I'm hoping to get this under control.
 
Yea my BP was high at the docs today. Even though i'm taking propranolol. It was like 131/90. Seems like my anxiety makes my BP spike even thougth the beta-blocker.
