Hi All, does anyone get what feel like adrenaline rushes? I get them loads... I felt anxious earlier on with a bit of chest pain this evening and ended up doing my blood pressure for about 4 hours every couple of minutes and at one point it was 155/105!!! Totally Freaked me out.Does this happen to anyone else??? Or is this Another symptom to add to my health anxiety!!! Already on blood pressure meds and is usually quite well controlled. Totally freaked me out! BP is back to normal now.
Spikes absolutely happen especially when you pass 35 yrs old vs if you are a teen. Learn mindful exercises they do help this. You have to really remove all thoughts except calm when doing them. This also happens to me if i go to an urgi center and they o to take my bp. Then i go home and can calm it down. This was exclusively why i even learned mindful excercises and it was a great addition to my own self calming toolkit.i initally was given beta blocker but that went awful it hooked on my digestive system made a mess so i started six days on those trashed them then used the mindful stuff. I have gine a tad higer then your reading in soikes and even the cardio told me it happens. Drinking a full glass of water helps it a bit and walking too. I learned it off utube by myself by the way. Its really awful what this disorder does to our bodies at times. frustratung and stressful dont honestly doctors realize this,

If you are stressed, with Anxiety your blood pressure will rise, if like in this case you keep taking regular blood pressure test every few mins or half hour your Anxiety will start and effect the readings and they coul go through the roof. These readings will not be accurate as evey time you repeat the test you will get more concerned.
Welcome to the world of Anxiety
