No, but I don't let it bother me. It's like my panic attacks that I get rarely now - I don't add fear to them. I know I don't have high BP, and this is an anxiety issue, so I just do my deep breathing exercises..
People around you will have been anxious too. At least you were giving them a rest from their own anxiety eh?
Obviously, you'll need to have hypertension diagnosed but just because some members of your family have it, doesn't necessarily mean that you do, or will. Often, it's just a case of dietary changes (like lowering salt intake) exercise, and/or lowering stress levels which sort this issue out. Our genes don't mean that we will
definitely inherit conditions; only that there's slightly more risk which generally means that we should take better care of ourselves, but we should be doing that anyway. My aunty had high blood pressure but she drank and smoked heavily. My mum had started with some high BP by the time she was 70 but she smoked and had upped her alcohol intake. My other aunty (their sister) doesn't have high BP - she stopped smoking decades ago, drinks moderately, and walks everywhere. What this tells me is that there's a risk that I
could develop high BP under certain conditions. I stopped smoking years ago, don't drink alcohol anymore, and I exercise as much as I can. I also try to control my stress levels because that's my biggest issue..
We have more control over our bodies than we think, and our bodies are more magnificent than we could ever understand. Our scary thoughts cause us to feel horrible, but happy thoughts make us feel good. Maybe, the next time you have your BP taken, try to conjure up a happy memory? One that makes you instantly smile? Because your body will react and release those happy hormones. Try it?
