I’ve had multiple doctors and nurses always be so concerned when my heart rate is at 150 bpm and BP 145/89 when getting measured at an appointment. Then they condescendingly listen to me when I explain.

Now I realize this is obviously concerning if you are not panicking, but here I am telling them I’m basically at a full blown panic attack because getting my bp measured at the doctors office just does that. And they just say yeah but that’s really high…

Do…do they understand how adrenaline works? If I was being chased by a bear it would probably be 180 bpm and 165/99. Like this is what adrenaline does…in everyone. I told you I just dumped adrenaline. It’s like I stabbed myself with an epipen, except my subconscious is the one doing the stabbing.

So I always have to show them my normal 60 bpm resting and 120/80 measurements I take when I’m relaxed. And they still are all weird. Like I’m sorry I can’t control my adrenaline dumps like you would like. I’m working on it sheesh
