anxiety and high blood pressure?

[beema36]

I am diagnosed with panic.disorder. I also have hypertension along with ms and.autonomic.dysfunction. I am on 4 Meds for bp and my bp ranges from 100/62 to 170/90 on some days. I always go high in Dr office but also at home. My question is can anxiety cause this fluctuation?

idk for sure. i know i have a really bad temper and sometimes i get really angry and my face gets hot so im guessing my bp is rising then. or when i get nervous it goes up alot. but when im just relaxed its okay. im not sure if its anxiety or something else going on. try to take mental notes of how u were feeling right before ur blood pressure shot up. like if u were angry or stressed over anything. and if ur feeling that way regularly b4 ur bp goes up that could be it and that can maybe give u an idea. but then again it could be something else, keep talking to a professional dont give up on it.

My Drs don't know.what to do.they say. Bps just all over the place. Yesterday it was 100/60 most of day and last night I was sitting relaxed in my yard decided to.go in and felt.faint. Because of autonomic dysfunction have been told to.check bp when I feel.that way as supposedly it would be too low. It was 170/90. Freaked me out.  In 2 hrs was back to 120/80. This is just an example.as.happens.all the time. I didnt feel anxious even until I.took bp and.it was so high. I.just felt lightheaded. I could understand it.doing thus.in fullblown panic attack but wasn't so just confused
