Whenever a blood pressure cuff goes on my arm and tightens my heart begins to beat rapidly and my breathing becomes rapid and shallow and I feel uneasy.  I do not go around 24 hours a day with rapid heartbeat an these other sensations.  Have you ever heard of this before?  What can I do?  I want to have a breast biopsy but it cant be done when my blood pressure is high.  For the last week and a half I have been taking a beta blocker Metoprolol and Hydrochlorothiazide that a physicians assistant prescribed.  I have had an EKG as well as blood and urine tests which are all normal.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. These symptoms are due to anxiety I Doctor's office aka White Coat Hypertension. It will be better for you to have an ambulatory BP monitoring to know whether you actually have HTN or not.
