Why do i feel the need to take my blood pressure at home over and over to make sure it is good like 50 times a day i do have anxiety?

Sounds like it: A psychiatrist can evaluate and confirm your belief that you have anxiety. Medication can be very helpful.

Dear Jeff 24,: I agree with you and dr. Kwok about the anxiety aspect here. People can focus on many things with their worries, and from your many questions on this forum, it sounds like it's your health, for you. Can you maybe see the hypnotist you like, and add this worry as something to work on? It could be very helpful. Anxiety meds may help too, but not by themselves. A therapist can help you as well.
