View Full Version : I thought anxiety was meant to give you high bp?
I have always been told anxiety is meant to make your blood pressure high, not low. I only feel anxious when my blood pressure is low - it seems to drop to about 90/55 and thats when my heart rate jumps up to 100-120.
Doesnt make any sense to me :(

If you have naturally low blood pressure then it will probably remain low despite the anxiety.
You probably feel anxious as low blood pressure can make you feel dizzy and lightheaded
Hey, I have very low blood pressure and I always have I also have really high anxiety my blood pressure never rises even when my heart rate does! I don't check my blood pressure because of this. My gp also told me never to home test my blood pressure either as it only causes more anxiety!
