Dealing with High Blood Pressure and Anxiety

I get high blood pressure sometimes. For me it's due to other conditions that I have, like Dysautonomia. So, if you don't think it's anxiety, or the Lexapro doesn't help, then definitely I suggest keep looking for explanations. And do other things that can help too, like keep hydrated and eat consistently throughout the day. All the best to you.

.y blood pressure has been high since i was a teenager. Ive been on and off blood pressure meds since then.

Yes! Just out of curiosity, did they take your BP again at the end of the appointment? I get anxious in doctor’s offices (they call it “white coat hypertension,” haha) so my doctors take mine at the beginning and end of the appt. If it’s high in the beginning because I’m anxious, it pretty much always lowers by the end!
