I had a panic attack over the weekend and my BP shot up. Now I can't stop thinking about it which makes me more anxious.

Like is the anxiety causing the high BP or is the high BP causing the anxiety? How do you even break that cycle?

I check my BP like 5-6 times a day and it's making my anxiety worse. The more I check the more stressed I get and the higher it goes.

Doctor said to stop checking so much but it's hard when you're trying to track if the meds are working.

How do you find the balance between monitoring and obsessing?
