Hello everyone! I just got home from a doctor's appointment due to some back pain. Like always, whenever I'm in the clinic, my heart cant stop beating and I'm very anxious and nervous for no reason. When the doctor took my BP, I told her that I'm feeling nervous. She told me to relax and I tried. Th

So last year I managed to hit 220/120 with a panic attack. In the hospital, I seemed to hover around 180/100 when I was discharged.
