A member asked:

My blood pressure is 122/76 with anxiety. is that ok? everytime i check my blood pressure i get anxiety does that cause my blood pressure to go up? and by how many?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety triggers the release of internal chemicals/hormones like adrenalin that increase both heart rate and blood pressure. The amount and effect varies with the intensity of the stressor. I don't consider the cited numbers worrisome at your listed age. Find a life coach/therapist who can teach you stress reduction & relaxation techniques and this an be improved.
