Hi! Checking your BP that often alone will make you anxious. My mom went through a phase doing that and her doc told her to STOP. I have fell into that trap as well. My heart rate is always 90 plus, but my doc tells me my heart is fine also. You just have to beleive it hun. I am a hypocondriac at times too, so dont feel bad. It is part of the anxiety condition. Try to stay busy doing other things, its hard, but try. Hope this helps hun.

Hi Outlaw The first thing you have to do is believe what your doctor tells you (I had a heck of a time with this at the beginning) If they tell you that you have no problems with your heart, BELIEVE them!! The second thing to remember is that when we panic, our blood pressure rises so I'm pretty sure that's what happened to you cuz the exact same thing happened to me. Hope you get over your cold soon!!
