Hypertension can also make you feel like crap. It made my chest feel tight, which did not help my anxiety.

- aksss 2y agoYeah, I empathize. Glad you're doing better now, assuming you are. I would get awful headaches and nausea (like hide in a dark room, photophobic, overly sensitive to sound, smells, wishing I could chop my head off). For years I didn't connect the two. Felt like getting the worst two-day hangover without having drank anything, but if I had measured my blood pressure at the time it would have been well over 150. I clocked in at 170 during one of those episodes when I went to urgent care. For years I had just dismissed as having overdid it the prior week and just needed to rest. Even if you can put up with the pain like a badass, it's not healthy for your system to be redlining so often. It does its damage in the aggregate.
