Anxiety is one: Possibility but there are lots of others. Please continue to visit your doc until you are both satisfied. Cardiologist herbert benson wrote a little book called the relaxation response. It's a simple mental technique to reduce the fight-flight response, which can account for high BP and rapid heart beat. I'll try to refer your question to another expert here on healthtap also if it works. Peace.
