Anxiety And Blood Pressure Readings

question about blood pressure?

I am not sure if I have high blood pressure. I get nervous when I go to the doctors because I think about my blood pressure and yes it does test around 140/90 and sometimes in the high normal 135/85

my doctor put me on a low dose half a tablet , and they make me feel light headed and dizzy. I told him I get really bad anxiety and nervousness when I go to the doctors but he didn’t think this has anything to do with my blood pressure reading.

the thing is when I get my blood pressure taken anywhere else which I have also told my doctor, I said the readings are normal 120/80, or high normal.

So my question is can you have high blood pressure if the readings are sometimes normal cos I though high blood pressure is when it’s high all the time even when sleeping.
thanks :)
I went to another doctor and the reading was 135/90, she said that was high for me cos for my age and size my BP should be 110/70. And I should take the medication to bring it down.

I would tell your doctor about how you feel after taking the pills. I agree with the other person who answered, that isn’t even all that high to put you on medication. My doctor waited to put me on medication until we had multiple readings and I even bought a home reader to make sure it was high (this was especially important since I am only 21 and not particularly overweight).

Anyway, if nothing else you should at least change the medication. I had to try 3 different ones before one didn’t bother me and I actually needed it (btw my readings were around 160/95)

If your doctor doesn’t listen, find another! I think we forget that we are the patients and the customers. They don’t get to be assholes. I had a doctor who accused me of lying about the side effects of a migraine medication. WTF! Who gives a crap! I mean really? I got a new doctor and haven’t regretted it.
