Around 2 months ago I had a severe panic attack after feeling a slight skipped beat while lying down in bed. I felt nervous, agitated and miserable, I truly thought I was dying. Post-panic attack I noticed a large influx of chest pains, shortness of breath and chest tightness, this worried me a lot, so I decided to go to the doctor and have it checked out. The EKG, blood test and chest x-ray results came out good, there was nothing found and the doctor said I was fine. After a while, the chest pains did persist, which made me become increasingly anxious and stressed. Something changed last week though, I would suddenly have these sudden jitters and feelings of extreme distress and anxiety, I also noticed that both my pulse and heartbeat were harder than usual, even when I was relaxed. I went to the doctor another time, thinking something truly bad was happening, but as what happened in the past, everything came out well again. Though everything was fine, I did notice something, my blood pressure was dangerously high at around 157 for systolic blood pressure. When I came home I panicked and went straight to the store and bought a blood pressure taker which would be used around my wrist. When I took my blood pressure it would show that it was around 160 - 180, though occasionaly it would drop to 130 or even to strange numbers as low as 80. I do have a history for white coat hypertension, which is triggered by my anxiety, but I am worried about this being potentially a case of severe hypertension. I have noticed that my veins now pop out more thant usual, I am confused wheter or not this is caused by the ongoing heat in my area or if it is triggered by anxiety or high bp. Is it possible that this is all being triggered by anxiety? Am I focusing way too much on my veins, and are these measurements even accurate if mt chest always starts pounding? I recently started sertaline too which has worsened my anxiety. I am 16 and my parents no longer want to take me to the hospital due to how many times i've come out fine without any diagnosis. Should I be worried or not? Is it possible that thinking about having high bp will make my bp high? Are those machines even accurate? I am so nervous and my thoughts aren't even coherent anymore. Please help
