Suggest Medication For High Bp With History Of Anxiety & Panic Disorder
I am a 44 year old female with no medical problems other than anxiety/ panic disorder and chronic migraines. The last two days my BP has been running 142/92, 145/87, 166/102 and 144/96. Heart rate has been in the 80 s. I have had a slight headache off and on. I have never taken BP meds. High BP does run in my immediate family.

hello
welcome to hcm
you are having GRADE 1 HYPERTENSION which in simple language is MILD hypertension...the best medicine in your case will be a BETA BLOCKER because it not only helps to control mildly raised bp but also helps in calming down nerves i.e works as mild anti-anxiety...kindly start this treatment
(1) TABLET ATENOLOL 50 mg once daily in morning with meals
(2) TABLET CLONAZEPAM 0.5 mg at bedtime in the night
dont forget to keep monitoring your bp atleast once in a week
