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.
When you consider common symptoms of anxiety, such as a pounding heart, sweating, and dizziness or lightheadedness, it seems obvious that anxiety can cause high blood pressure. And indeed, periods of high anxiety do cause temporary spikes in blood pressure that can be quite dramatic. You may think that people with chronic anxiety have a constant increase in blood pressure, but they seem to adapt in a way to their bodyâs constant increase in stress hormones.
