Question by Luke: Is having occasional panic attacks which raise ur bp bad for your health?
I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and if I get a bad one, I notice at the ER that my blood pressure shoots through the roof. Nothing TOO high but it can go 130/140s and very close to 150s, and the lower number can go into the 100-110 range.

Is this something I should be highly concerned with?

It normally drops to like 100 over 60 afterwards when I’m sedated, and it never stays at that level, but it can shoot up there in a matter of MINUTES!

Should I be concerned, becuase none of my doctors seem to be at all, whatsoever,

but people on this message board go crazy if you mention anything over 120/80.

I n eed some true advice.

I just saw a cardiologist today and he didn’t seem the slightest bit concerned.

He didn’t do any extensive tests on me since I Had heart palpitations frequently, but im also sick, so maybe during illness its more normal?

He said the palps and the anxiety/panic high bp are nothing to worry about.

Is this true?
I also notice that SOME times my LOWER number seems to be the most dramatically increased, and other times its the HIGHER number.

What could cause the lower one to increase, and what would cause the higher?

Q&A: Where do I start when my anger/anxiety issues are affecting my health and relationship?

Question by littlemomma4544: Where do I start when my anger/anxiety issues are affecting my health and relationship?
I have always had anger/anxiety issues, but recently, I have come to a point where I can no longer deal with them on my own. A friend suggested starting with a general practitioner, as I am having health issues stemming from my anger/anxiety, such as headaches, weight gain, and stomach trouble. Is this the best place to start? I’ve made an appointment for this coming Monday. What should I tell this doctor?

Yes definately see a GP. He/she will refer you to a specialist who can help. Write down everything that you are feeling and hand it over the the GP. I am going to see the doc for a simular reason and I find that it helps to write everything down because when I’m under pressure I tend to forget.

“Stay only as the space in which this anxiety plays. It’s okay to feel like this in this moment…. you did not cause it. If you can admit it, immediately you already start to de-construct this power…. If you learn the skill to hide it, you may never over-come it.” (Mooji) ~ Spoken by Mooji (London satsang 25 April 09) Thank you for this message. www.mooji.org (official website) ; also see mooji.satsangs.net (a source website of Moojis video satsang teachings) Also see: www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com (French sub-titles) www.youtube.com www.youtube.com These are the channels that I know of ~ there may be others.
