Hi.

I had gone through your query.

I understand your concern.

Anxiety can result of increase sympathetic outflow from brain.

Neurotransmitters like nor epinephrine and adrenaline discharge play important role.

So it may also elevate blood pressure.

But control of anxiety can also improve in blood pressure.

Anxiolytic like etizolam along with anti hypersensitive medicine can help.

Regular exercise and meditations can help.

Daily work schedule with stress free activity can be beneficial.

Still if you have query then feel free to ask.

Get well soon.

Thank you.
