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.
