I'm monitoring my blood pressure with an Omron machine, and it reads 100140, but my pulse is normal. I heard that blood pressure can stay high in winter. Should I think about consulting a doctor for this?

Seasonal changes can indeed affect blood pressure levels in some individuals. If your blood pressure consistently remains at 140100 mmHg, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation. You can consider taking antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and personalized treatment plan.

I'm worried that my anxiety might be causing my blood pressure to increase. Its been six months, and while I dont feel as anxious now, I still feel a strong pulse all overchest, fingers, head, neck, legs, everywhere. Its really affecting my life! Ive tried everythingeating better, exercising, meditatingand nothing helps. My blood pressure and pulse are still the same. I even tried magnesium, but no change. I'm really scared about the side effects of anxiety and blood pressure meds. If this is anxiety, how long will it take to go away? What should I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety that are affecting your blood pressure and pulse. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) at a low dose of 10-20mg once or twice daily. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety such as a bounding pulse. Additionally, for anxiety relief, you can consider taking Escitalopram (Lexapro) at a dose of 10mg daily. Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that can help alleviate anxiety symptoms. It is important to note that the duration for anxiety to be cured varies from person to person. With medication and therapy, many individuals see improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks to a few months. It is recommended to continue with the prescribed treatment plan and follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.
