View Full Version : Anxiety and Blood pressure
Hi everyone,
When we are anxious and stressed is it natural for our blood pressure to be raised?
Normally my blood pressure is 130/70 but of late ive been worried and anxious about my little one whos been sick....... shes gettting better now but it has made my anxiety a little bit wobbly.....its 140/80 at the mo.....
When i look back its actually always raised slightly when im anxious.......
How does everyone else find theres? i refuse to buy a monitor as i just go to my gp to get it checked.... if i got the monitor id be checking it 24/7 lol
Hope you are all well

It would make sense for bp to go up when anxious. The body goes into high gear.
You say you don't have a monitor, but then how do you know it is 140's right now?
I have a monitor and I have been known to overuse it. :-)

i went to the gp to get a sick certificate for today........ always get it checked when i go and thats normally once a month lol :yesyes:
it was likely rasied because your were anxious of your sick little one. And white coat symdrome. Did the dr. seem concerned? You must be really comfortable with the dr. to go often as once a month.

Yeah all the doctors at the practice are good, yeah he was fine with the BP.....
Hows it over in the states today?/tonight?
:winks:
Hi Ewood
If your BP is 140/80 when anxious, you are fine mate :)
140 is only a teenie weenie bit slightly high, and 80 is optimal, I would swap those numbers anyday, try 164/98 when stressed eeeeeek
No don't get a monitor mate, with those results I am sure your GP will say you don't need to keep a close eye on your BP by having a home machine.
I have a monitor, and sometimes when I fall into an anxious state (as I seem to do, every now and then) I wear my BP monitor like a fashion accessory.

not trying to make it a competition lol!
Routine drs appnt and he said, lets check your bp while your here..... it was 205/95...... I said thats terrible!!..... Anyway, had it rechecked couple of weeks later and back down to 135/85. These things can vary so much.
Hey thanks for the replies guys!!!
My blood pressure goes up to 13/9~ whenever I have a panic attack or I'm very anxious. I know, you're gonna say "amateur" :D, but my normal bp is smth like 10/7, so that is a big increase for me. It's normal, but not healthy!
