Need help health anxiety really bad today. Thinking I'm going to take a stroke any minute. Have high bp and on medication. Have taken my bp about 20 times already. Can't get this feeling out of my head, 😢😢
Weird...my other comment seems to be deleted from here, if it somehow posts again i'm sorry for double posting.
Anyways, Please Calm Down! Anxiety is a hell of a fight sometimes, and trust me, you're not alone!
Remember that anxiety cannot hurt you! I suffer from DP;DR and Hypochondrias, both are serious triggers of anxiety and sometimes i feel like my anxiety is in overdrive too. The best course of action is to just let it play through.
My advice would be to look through some of the other stories on this site, including mine. There's a certain comfort that comes with finding someone else that has the same problems as yourself. Another thing to do is NEVER look up your symptoms, this worsens the anxiety!
Anyways, breath and relax!
HI
What is the original blood pressure reading?
​If you keep taking your blood pressure as you have been then it will keep rising dueto your anxiety. I see that you are taking anti hypertensive medication so you obviously suffer gromhypertension. I too do. However taking your blood prssure incessantly like this is bound to incrase the level and set you off worrying .
If you phonethe dr he will immediately want to know the first reading and then ask you what time you took your medication etc.
You do not say what your readings are so it is very difficult to make a judgement here.
