My blood pressure is always normal started Zoloft 2 weeks ago was okay until today. Had a panic attack and now very anxious at home. Anyway I'm 22 female healthy in shape. I came back from a quick walk to the store and back 15 minutes later I measured blood pressure because my grandma suggested it. It was 140/91 which is high for me and than within hour dropped back down to 117/79. Anyways what if my blood pressure is spiking way higher during attacks? I feel super spaced out confused and light headed and feel super virtual/not there, head pressure/head rush no elevated heart rate or abnormal breathing. Now I'm sitting at home and feeling more anxious than usual. I am freaking out right now. What if something serious is wrong I don't want to drag myself to the doctors again and wait for tests forever

During my first panic attack my B P went to 220/105 pulse was 140, no i suffered no injury in fact the
doctor at ER said many peoples BP spikes like that during a car wreck or some other emergency.
Darlin, if you threw away all your equipment and just ran for fun, eat right, and laugh with all your
being you will still live to a ripe old age and without that fear!
Please take the time to read in depth the various posts on here, you will find that the prime culprit is
"fear". It is a thief that steals your right now happiness, and we stand around and just hand over our lives to this useless shadow, it has only the power "We" give it, nothing more! Peace

D.,

Yes, we all have spikes....and most doctors will agree that it is the overall average of BP numbers that counts...

In other words, if you run normal most of the time, then the occasional elevated reading is not something to be worried about.

Remember, most people only have theirs checked at most 2 times a year during a doctor's appointment! (therefore they are unaware of their occasional high readings)

Ask your dr. about it if you are still concerned, but I am sure all is well.:)
