You anxiety could actually be caused by your high blood pressure. Here are some things you will want to do and talk over with your doctor.

1. Re-evluate your blood pressure medication. You may need to tweak it a bit for it to work better.
2. Take your medication every day at the same time of day. It's most effective this way
3. Start following the Dash Diet www.dashdiet.org
4. Limit your sodium to 2,000mg a day
5. Exercises atleast 30 minutes a day
6. go to the health store and buy a fish oil pill to promote good cholestrol and a apple cider vinegar pill which will help with your blood pressure
7. Realize that birth control pills, and shots actually raise blood pressure. Practice safe sex by using a condom until your blood pressure is uncontrol.

Remember how important your blood pressure is to you. It's called the silent killer because so many people die each year from it. So its important to work really hard to lower it.

You must see your doctor. In the means time, you can do as follow:

You must reduce sodium in your diet. But in this situation, YOU MUST TOTALLY AVOID TAKING SALT IN YOUR FOODS.

Blood pressure often increases as weight increases. Losing just 10 pounds can help reduce your blood pressure significantly. In general, the more weight you lose, the lower your blood pressure. Losing weight also makes any blood pressure medications you're taking more effective.

Have you got white coat blood pressure. Perhaps your blood pressure rises whenever you visit your doctor. Have you tried measuring it at home? You need to work on lowering your blood pressure before getting the birth control shot.

If you are unsuccessful with lowering your blood pressure why do you not consider using another form of contraception, such as the implant.
