Buy a reputable : sphygmomanometer , a blood pressure cuff, for home use. Learn how to use it. Document BP's to show your primary care, who will treat hypertension, if present. Evaluation by a psychiatrist will help you learn if your anxiety disorder is significantly impairing your daily functioning to the point that anti-anxiety medications need to be added to your ongoing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
