I am trying to exercise to keep the stress and anxiety down and with hopes of getting off this bp med. I just did my 15 minutes and maybe I shouldn't have because I have felt off since taking my bp med about 3. But now my anxiety is up and my bp is up high again. This makes everything so hard. I'm so tired of it.

Baby steps...

...it's not unusual for exercise to trigger anxiety...and this is what probably caused your BP to rise...

...but if you keep at it, it will get easier, and you'll be getting the benefits you seek. ..both mentally and physically.

Keep up the good efforts!

I wouldn't worry because exercise raises your bp but in a good way. Also exercise in the long term, will help lowering your overall resting bp.
