Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. In such cases you should trust your doctor. You must be having essential hypertension because of your anxiety and stress related symptoms. Usually hypertension is diagnosed if your blood pressure is more than 120/80 mmgg consistently over a period of a week or so. Essential hypertension could also be due to stress. Initially doctors advise you to reduce sodium intake, exercise and avoid stress. They may not even prescribe medicine. Work with your doctor.
