i was a nurse and the answer is yes don't be afraid your heart is OK or it wouldn't have gone down again to near normal ,,yes when we are in a state of high anxiety bp can go through the roof but the important thing is it goes down when panic over hope this helps
aww thank you so much gypsywomen feel better now. am home now trying to relax and stop worrying. x

yu will be ok glad your relaxing you will be fine xx
I went to my gynecologist recently for a procedure and mine was 150/100. It goes this high almost everytime I'm at the doctors. I take it at home and it is usually under 120/80.
I'm the same now any doctors appointment and they bring that b.p machine near me I panic and it shots up. Awful! Thanks for your replies guys it does help and is very kind of you. X
