A member asked:
Xanax prescribed for blood pressure spike fluctuation should be taken on the episodes or it should be taken daily for certain duration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'm not in favor of treating elevation of blood pressure with a tranquilizer. This is to treat anxiety. Effective treatment for high blood pressure requires recognized antihypertensive medications taken regularly which would modulate spikes in BP. Consider stress management coaching to control stress or anxiety.
