I have been feeling shaky and a racing heart for 3 days. my bp is slightly elevated 127/75. should i be seen or is it just anxiety?

I would invest in a BP monitor ($20-50) and take it occasionally when you are at home and rested. Anxiety can elevate your BP. The cited level is not worrisome at your age but deserves monitoring. I would have an annual checkup and bring in a list of any health concerns when you go.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
