I just got paranololol prescribed. I told her about the anxiety and head aches and the blood pressure going up when I get anxious. I'm not really sure if it does go up or not though . She still prescribed it at 20 mg. I think she prescribed it for the anxiety mainly because I read that as the diagnosis. So am I ok to take the medication in your opinion Mark? I figured out how to work my blood pressure kit btw and my reading was pretty good.
