I want to ensure I’m healthy so I periodically take my blood pressure at home. The problem is, my heart starts beating a lot  harder when I start feeling it squeeze my arm because I’m a bad hypochondriac. If I take it in the morning when I wake up and don’t have the energy to start freaking out it’s normal but mid day it’s high and my heart rate is a lot higher too. Usually my heart rate sits around 68-72 and it’s around 85 when the blood pressure machine takes it. I know there’s not a huge correlation between heart rate and blood pressure but for me there is a huge correlation between heart rate and stress at the moment so I know it’s skewed. Is there any techniques any of you guys use? I’ve tried playing music in AirPods and doing something on my phone but I can’t get the pressure on my arm out of my head enough to relax. Thanks!
