Anxiety and High Blood Pressure

http://www.calmclinic.com/anxiety/ca...blood-pressure

A good friend went thru high anxiety and depression a few months ago and ended up in the hospital for 5 days....this was all from anxiety and depression. This friend mentored me on alternatives when I first met her in 1994 and now here she is on 6-8 medications including blood pressure med. She never had high BP issues in all the years I've known her. She's now adding Dr. Sinatra's supplements for heart health and hopes she can get off some of the meds if not all. Controlling anxiety and depression is the key. She's been visiting her mother in FL for a month so just the company of her mom I'm sure is helping, but she is coming back. She doesn't want to move to FL and her mom is 93.

A lady at bridge was talking about her 68 yr old husband who is very athletic, healthy eater, runner, all sounds good...he has BP spikes and does not want to get on BP meds. She says he's laid back....probably some underlying issues going on. There is more to their story but here again could be anxiety going on he won't mention.

I started my committed daily meditation and HOPE it will bring good results....don't know if I'll get off all meds but I'd be happy to get off one at least.
