Hi everyone
I hope this finds you all well.
I have completed a interview process for a new job in a admin/sales role.
The next step is a medical.... I'm not worried about the medical as I've had one before as in urine sample, hearing, BP and all that jazz.
The only thing is everytime I go to the Dr or have a procedure I get very anxious and my fight or flight system goes off, quite often my BP will read slightly higher 150/90 ( I don't have high BP ).
Last year they did a 24 hour BP test and it came back perfect, ths lowest reading was 120/60 which I'm told is perfect and... That was the average for the nighttime readings and the day was about 135/75...
I've had every test there is over the years (I'm 36) non smoker etc and in reasonable condition.
I'm on lexapro and on a PRN basis valium and Atenalol... For moments of extreme anxiety etc.
I was thinking of maybe taking half a beta blocker (Atenalol) 25mg tomorrow before the medical just to keep me chilled....
Was wondering what your thoughts were?
Many thanks
Jarrod
