View Full Version : worries about blood pressure
So I went to the doctors the other week and my blood pressure is fine. But a friend was telling me about how when she is nervous her blood pressure gets really high. Now Im worried about getting high blood pressure because im constantly anxious. I keep thinking well what if I worry so much about my blood pressure I make it high and then what because isnt high blood pressure very dangerous? can someone put my mind to rest? thank you
The doctor has told you it is fine so be reassured with that. I am constantly anxious but my bp is low.
So I cant make my blood pressure dangerous simply through being anxious?

If you are really worried about this then I would talk to your doctor and he/she "may" do a 24 hour BP monitor to check it but I doubt you can make it high all the time to be honest.
Well when I went she said my blood pressure was perfectly normal but I am just scared of my anxiety making it high in the future

I should also probably mention I am 17 years old and quite skinny
I really wouldn't worry about it Bexx. It is not going to increase your bp much. Other factors are more likely to affect it more such as diet & lifestyle. At your age and especially if you are slim then you will be fine.
