Oh honey
You sound terrified, so I just wanted to come and give you a virtual hug. I have worried about my bp before and I constantlyy worry about my heart. It's so miserable, isn't it? You will be absolutely fine when you exercise. Your bp will go up, but that is as it should be. Your heart will be getting stronger The more you exercise, the lower your resting bp and heart rate will be. I'm sure if we were strapped to a bp monitor all day we'd all be terrified at the extent to which it rises and falls throughout the day. Sending much love. xxx

Hello, My bp reading was similar to Your 145/90 with hr at 81bpm. my bp has been high the last 3 times seeing the Dr, so he's referring Me to the blood pressure specialist. I worry about my heart even though I've had about 6 ECG's in the last year and they've come back all fine! I know exactly where you're coming from. It's terrible. I find i can have periods with no anxiety 1-2 days then a day or 2 of panic, any twitch in the chest or arm or times when i notice my heart beat can set my anxiety off. Try not to dwell on the other day in A&E. My last time taken to A&E was in an Ambulance car as i went through a period after my first panic attack of going to hospital scared stiff on 5 different occasions 3 by ambulance and 2 walk ins. I was off work for 3 months feeling unable to function. The Paramedic was great and something He said I try to remember and that is the best thing when You fall off the horse is to get back on again, and that if you let it put you down it will. Well i am still suffering with anxiety and now blood pressure as well but i am working full time and i go on holidays and carry on, don't get me wrong it is dam hard sometimes but i sort of cope in a way sometimes i get very depressed and wish to God that i did not have this but there You are.

How long have You had this ?

It is so nasty being affected by this I know. Have You tried a walk in the park or somewhere to start with? i find a good brisk walk is good exercise You don't have to go all out in the gym.
