Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Got my blood pressure taken yesterday. It was 122/84 is this cause for concern. Im a 31 year old male, 5'10" and weigh 165 lbs. I do suffer from anxiety and recently have dealt with panic attacks. Im not on any medication at the moment. I tried Xanax and Paxil and i felt horrible. So right now Im looking to go about this holistically. Is my blood pressure a concern. The last time i was at the doctors it was 138/90 but i was really anxious then.
Hi, The blood pressure generally 140/90 and above is considerd for starting medication though ideal blood pressure is around 120/80 little variation is acceptable, Anxiety and stress may increase blood pressure, Your detailed examination and history is essential,I think you should visit psychiatrist and get your symptoms evaluated hope this information helps.
