Confused and angry

[JeccaW]

So my family has a history of high blood pressure. I got my high bp when I got pregnant with ya first and have had it ever since.

So when I go the drs my high bp is sky high. I try and explain that I probably have a high bp anyways and my anxiety makes it go nuts. I know my dr has my best interests

He now wants me to go a heart specialist as my dad has had a quadruple by pass and two other day procedures done so am at higher risk

Hi JeccaW,

Welcome to the forum. If you don't mind me asking, have you discussed your anxiety issues with your Dr? Has the Dr suggested ways you may be able to reduce your blood pressure?

Has the thought of seeing a heart specialist caused you to feel more anxious than usual, is that what is worrying you most at present?

Are you concerned that due to your Father's issues, you may experience the same thing? It sounds like seeing a heart specialist to get everything checked out would be beneficial and put your mind at ease.

If I have misread your concerns and direction you were taking with your post, let me know.

All the best from Dools
