Correlation between blood pressure and anxiety?

Hello, I have high blood pressure sometimes pretty high. I take meds for it. The doc does not worry too much if it is no higher than 125 over whatever. When I am ancious it goes up.

I thought that 129 was high blood pressure. Well I really am relieved, thanks a million guys. I tend to freak myself out over small things and did not want to become scared about my blood pressure. If it werent for you helping me feel better, I probably would worry about it for days and stay in high anxiety zone. Thanks to ya'll now I can let it go.

hello there, i am a chronic pain forum person but i saw your question. i almost have a pharmacology degree so i can answer this. when you are stressed your body releases things called catahcolomines, among them are adrenaline, norepineperine, cortisol ect. these things kick start the adernergic system. some hypertension meds like beta-adernergic blockers or alpha-adernergic blockers land in the adernergic receptors stopping the catahcolamines from landing there agonizing or stimulating the sympathetic nervous system.
