Anxiety does drive the secretion of stress hormones like adrenalin that elevate blood pressure. There is a recognized pattern called "white coat hypertension" related to anxiety at doc visits. It would be reasonable to monitor your BP several times/d for a week or so to see your true pattern. That said, I don't think I would worry about an occasional 134/80.
