Well I've ben suffering from panic attacks from a couple of months!. Well can't control my anxiety!. Whenever I want to check the blood pressure or pulse rate it elevates!. What Can I do!? I am 19 Years old!. Is it normal!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Panic, anxiety and stress all work to increase your blood pressure and heart rate!. Standing typically causes a dramatic increase in a short time!. Any physical activity can increase it as well!. A full bladder, smoking, alcohol and being sedentary most of the time can increase your BP and/or HR!. Here is the facts of BP levels:

120/80 or lower is normal blood
120 to 139 for the top number, or 80 to 89 for the bottom number is prehypertension
140/90 or higher is high blood pressure

Here is the low-down on HR:

New born and infants 100 to 160 bpm
Children 1 to 10 years 70 to 120 bpm
Children over 10/Adults/Seniors 60 to 100 bpm
Well-trained Athletes 40 to 60 bpm

So, your HR isn't so bad, unless like me you have already had a problem (see my profile)!.

Since you say your paniced a lot it is not suprising that your BP checks high, though it's not really all that high!. I don't see this as a problem for you!. This is just one reading!. Several readings are required by a doctor (which I'm not) before they can make the diagnosis of high BP!.

When I forget my BP med, my BP will jump to the High 120's/High 80'S and my HR ranges from mid 70's to upper 90's!.

With my med I get BP readings as low as 102/58 and HR as low as 57!. But I'm in pretty good physical shape having lost 30-40 pounds and taken a job lifting heavy boxes for 10 hours a night plus lifting weights and cycling 3-4 times a week!.

Exercise and proper diet are your best friends when it come to heart health!. Your at a great age to develope the "good" habits needed for a long and healthy life!.

For now, I think your fine!. But you may want to see if your doctor can help with the Panic/Anxiety Attacks!.

Wish you the best,
