Hi
Just wondered how people feel their anxiety affects their blood pressure? I have mild high blood pressure and been on medication for it since April which seemed to be working well.

However for the last four weeks my anxiety has been really bad with panics almost every day and I find find my blood pressure is really erratic. I am on day 20 of fluoxetine but I don't think that has any effect on blood pressure.

Interested to hear your thoughts

My blood pressure has been fairly low which has been concerning me. It can range from 130/85 if I've been active and just sat down to low like 100/65. The low numbers have been scaring me . I been averaging about 115/70 or around there but it's the 99/65and such that scares me. I'm also on fluoxetine, 2g for about 6 months. I also see that I posted on here about 6 years ago or so with the same worry so maybe it's nothing.
