Anxiety & BP: The two can be related. Please continue to follow your doctor's advice. Also look into a mind-body technique that can help manage anxiety and lower BP. See www.relaxationresponse.org It needs to be practiced, not only read about. Peace and good health.

Anxiety: Anxiety disorder is common, so is hypertension. They can occur together but no known link.
