How Can Hypertension And Anxiety Be Treated?
I just came back from my followup Dr s after I went to the emergency room for high pressure caused by anxiety at work. The hospital put me on Ativan, which helped tremendously. Now my primary said he didn t want to renew the Ativan, but put me on Celexa insetad. (an anti depressant.) How is this going to help? I m not depressed, just overly anxious.
