A member asked:

Is it common for teens who have an anxiety disorder to have high blood pressure?

No it’s not: Anxiety and in the age group especially the older population usually involves an elevation of the top number of the blood pressure, the systolic blood pressure. What is your blood pressure? Even teenagers can have secondary causes of hypertension from adrenal tumors, and more.
