My b/p is usually normal although before now I have never taken it when I was anxious, I have a home machine. About 6 months ago although I was relaxed at the time, the pressure was quite a bit higher than normal, I have taken it a few times since and sometimes it is high. Then the other day I took it and omg it went so high and my heart was racing, I thought I was gonna die there and then of a stroke or heart attack! I just tried to take it but my anxiety went sky high and heart rate so pointless doing it but I wonder why just in 6 month what has happened to make it go a lot higher when it was normal........something else to worry about!

Anyone else have a high blood pressure? And what to do?
