Understandable: Is it the only thing that makes you anxious? You might need to have your anxiety addressed as well. If readings are very high while anxious it is likely that your blood pressure is high at baseline, too. Otherwise make sure you check while sitting for a while, never on the run. What are your readings at your physician's office?
