Hi Rhoda, My migraines are linked with spikes in my blood pressure. We found the same thing - that my blood pressure would go up when my migraine started. I now take a beta blocker called nadolol and it doesn't let my blood pressure spike and my migraines are less severe than they were originally. This hasn't stopped the migraines as it does for some, but it makes it a lot better.
Anxiety causes high blood pressure by increasing heart rate and constricting the blood vessels. Anxiety does not change a person's body or permanently cause high blood pressure. Rather, it simply causes a spike in blood pressure that may last until the anxiety dissipates. Those with high anxiety may experience high blood pressure often as a result of their constant anxiety, but any time they're anxiety free their blood pressure should return to their normal baseline.
