M south indian.can continous anxiety and ocd thoughts increase my blood pressure-140/90? taking tablets for b.p at 28 doesn't seem a good idea to me?

Please don't change: Your meds w/out speaking to your doctor. Ocd can stress a person and contribute to high bp. I see that you are on a med for ocd. Add a psychologist or psychiatrist to your support team and you will have more complete help. Peace and good health.

Stress ; BP: Stress can raise BP and relaxation techniques and meditation can lower bp. But do not stop your BP medication.
