Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service!

You should know that high blood pressure values could be related to anxiety and psychological pressure.

Anyway, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommended performing some tests to exclude other possible metabolic causes ( complete blood count, PCR, ESR, thyroid hormone levels, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, cortisoland aldosterone plasma levels for adrenal gland dysfunction).

If all these tests result normal and your blood pressure values remain high despite anxiety medication, you should discuss with your doctor on the possibility of starting antihypertensive therapy.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Ilir Sharka
