Hello,
I hope your physician has investigated you properly, i mean your cardiac and thyroid functions. If not, please get your ECG and thyroid function tests done immediately.
Also, keep monitoring your blood pressure and blood sigar levels.
If the tests are normal, then you are suffering from panic disorder. The medicine of choice for this condition is paroxetine. This will relieve your anxiety as well.
Usually there is autonomic hyperactivity in panic attacks which cause b.p. to rise.
Thanks.
