Does Karbesat 150mg Cause Anxiety And High BP?

Hi I have never suffered with anxiety in my life until staring Karbesat 150mg. Sensations came on irregularly at first but more frequent these days symptoms include pressure in head, weakness in legs and fullness in chest (like warm lead). At other times my BP is within normal limits but when these sensations come on (un-triggered) bp can rise t0 165/98.
