I went to urgent care yesterday a walk in clinic for a large external hemmerhoid, yeah fun. I'm not upset about why I went I got creams and worst case I'll need it removed in out patient surgery. However I am upset because I can't relax during bp test. The minute i saw the cuff heart pounding 148/81. The nurse said it wasn't to bad for anxiety she said my pulse was normal but it was 80 something I'm usually like 70. I know it's anxiety I'm 39 Female on bcp loloesteib de no other issues. I always had low p before health anxiety. I don't checj at home as I obsess but it be high then low. How do u guys relax. Also I don't want to take meds. I take xanax for emergencies but rarely it def helps.
