Dear sir , i am 23 years old and i went for a blood pressure test today and it read 150/85, but even before the test started i was anxious about the reading and my heart started to beat fast.could this be the reason for this kind of reading.
Hi, Anxiety can cause temporary spike in BP and heart rate. It is a normal phenomenon. But as the reading came out to be pretty high, I'll recommend you to monitor your BP at home only whenever you are calm and relaxed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
