I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?

Aggression or stress can indeed cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. Since your heart tests and lipid profile are normal, the elevated blood pressure may be due to situational factors. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider lifestyle modifications. In case of persistent high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medications like Amlodipine 5mg or Losartan 50mg to help keep it under control.

I've noticed that my heart rate is always above 90, and I also deal with anxiety. When I start overthinking, my heart rate shoots up to 105. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned and seek treatment?

A heart rate above 90 at rest and reaching 105 with anxiety and overthinking may indicate that your heart rate is elevated. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
