A member asked:

What should i do if the hypertension is from stress, anxiety, fear,or anger? should i use clonidine if the bp does not go down after 1 hr? thank you.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You should have: some sort of relaxation techniques �to calm your anxiety and fear that you can u�utilize. Also I would suggest speaking with a therapist to get to the root of the underl�ying stress you are experiencing to get it under control.

3 years ago, I started getting heart palpitations when I sleep. There's no fear, stress or anxiety. Just neutral. The palpitations only happen when I'm unconscious. When I wake up it slows back down. I don't even have to move. What is going on?
