Ok so last night I was freaking out about my blood pressure so I started taking it like every 2 minutes. Well today the bend in my elbow is so sore plus going down my arm and my hand is kinda cold. Did I pinch a nerve??
Of course my mind is saying that I caused a blood clot in my arm from the blood pressure cuff. Really freaking out right now. Need help/opinions. Thank you

No...you just over did it! The most that could happen is a sore spot/bruise...or at worse a compressed nerve that will heal on its own.

Don't take your BP anymore now, okay?

You are fine!:) Do some coping mechanisms instead.

Hi. I too get myself freaked out that I believe that I have something horrible wrong with me. A few months ago I had myself convince I had Leukemia. Today it was ovarian cancer. I know it's hard and I must do this too. We have to realize its just our anxiety. We get ourselves worked up over any little symptom we have. Have you had a check up recently? That might help. I know that is scary too. But although I get myself freaked with thinking I have this or that deep down I know I'm ok. It's just my anxiety playing its little games with me.

Dawn, we all say we just want to be normal? Do normal people do this obsessive BP checking?

Please be kinder to your mind and body, repeatedly checking will NOT make your bp go down, but
you now know what it will do. Learning to cope is more than some exercises that distract, it's being
aware of venturing into these kind of situations. Peace

Larry what's so funny is I wasn't freaking out because it was high. I was freaking out because it was only 105/72. I thought it was way too low
