Suggest Treatment For Stress, Dizziness And Low BP

I always feel stressed out. I used to have low blood pressure but lately it has high. I have dizziness or light headed. Sometimes it feels hard to catch my breath and feels like there are bubbles in my chest. Today at work the nurse checked my BP and it was 138/102. Should I be concerned?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Blood pressure reading varies throughout the day. Therefore to determine whether you have constant high blood pressure, doctors take measurements through a week, at different times at different setups. Generally, if the BP measurement is constant (in average) through out the week and is above 140/90 mmgg, you will be given treatment for that.

Stress related / anxiety related high blood pressure measurement is also same. The tend to be on the higher side only when you are stressed / anxious. Please consult a physician and get measurements done properly.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
