Are high blood pressure and anxiety related, and if so what sort of risk is there.

Medicine is one of my last resorts. I have tried meditation, relaxaion, counseling and even though overall i get better my anxiety really hasnt!

What kind of anxiety medicine works for anxiety? I was diagnost with anxiety and tomorrow i go to my doctor to get medicine for it. I always have racing thoughts, I always worry, I am very irretable and I stay tired all of the time.

in any way for that and anxiety? I’m not a severe case where I’d whack somebody, I just get down and anxious and fight it all the time even with meds to be happy go lucky like I want to be. What about accupuncture? Thanks for your help!

I spoke with my mom today. She’s in her late 60s and has had high blood pressure for years. She still works regularly but is staying home this week to see if her blood pressure can be moderated after spiking to 236/145. (I’m not 100% sure about the second number–it may be a little off, but I am absolutely positive about the 236.)

She was given a new medication, as well as some anxiety medicine. She’s always had high blood pressure, but the 236 even scared her.

So, how close is someone to a heart attack (or some other major body malfunction) when blood pressure goes that high? I remember my mom’s mom had high blood pressure and died from a massive heart attack at age 70 about twenty years ago.

i take 5-6 1 mg tablets of ativan a day for anxiety. well yesterday i only took 3, today i have taken 2. i’m feeling pretty shaky and anxious and i know that i will feel like that for a while. my question is how long will i feel like this? how long will it take me to get used to taking 2-3 a day?

i decided to do it on my own. i dont want to be taking so many pills anyways. how dangerous are withdrawls? and should i just keep going with the 2 i took today or take another one like i did yesterday? i really need some advice PLEASE.

Hi I just started adding liquid chlorophyll to my daily supplement regimen and I was already taking Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra Probiotics and Natrol 5-HTP 100 mg. I currently take 3 capsules of the Primal Defense Ultra (one capsule before each meal) and I take 1 capsule of the 5-HTP during dinner. I recently started taking 2 Tablespoons of Liquid Chlorophyll and I usually just take that when I remember so time of the day for the chlorophyll varies. The probiotics I’m taking for digestive issues, the 5-HTP for anxiety and the chlorophyll to help reduce bad breath and body odor. So does anyone know if it’s safe to take all 3 of these supplements all in the same day?

I feel pretty good on Paxil CR. The only thing that bothers me is I have a very low libido. It really puts a huge negative impact on my relationship with my boyfriend. I Hate It. It’s awful. I want my sexual drive back. What should I do? Oh, and I have talked to my psychiatrist, she switched me to Lexapro, which made me feel very unhappy regarding depression and anxiety, so now she suggested skip taking the pill the night before you have sex. I notice very little. What do i do?

Lately i’ve been having stomach issues.

My husband is a very handsome man, with thick hair. He’s starting to experience hair loss in the shower and when he combs his hair, and is getting serious anxiety about it. I know it’s hard for him, and I have told him that I will still find him attractive even if he does lose his hair one day. I’m wondering what I can do to show my support and hopefully make him feel a little better about it.

I have researched and found that there are conflicting reports. I read that half the sources say High levels of cortisol are to blame for anxiety, insomnia , panic and stress and the other half say low cortisol levels are to blame. So which one is it ? Low or High?

I had a very crazy blue period where I wept constantly in the 7th month of my pregnancy. Now I’ve had the baby and have been at home for nine days – I’ve had sporadic moments of anxiety but nothing that resembles the depression I went through in my pregnancy…just wondered if I am in the clear or if post-partum may still present itself…? Any thoughts from others who have gone through it?

My friend takes remeron for anxiety depression and insomnia. He wants to stop taking it and go with natural remedies. Does anyone know of anything that works just as well as prescription meds? Any personal experiences? Please only answer if you are sure the herbs actually work for these 3 things

I have been taking zoloft 100 mg for about 8 weeks now. It has helped with depression and anxiety, but it has not made me feel normal again. I am asking if anyone has had any experiences to help me decide whether to take another med; or if I should expect better results as time goes on?
