I am 38 year old female having bp fluctuations and anxiety due to lock down. My bp has always otherwise remained normal. But just some days ago I had high bp because of which I was given olmin 40 mg for 2 days by some elder in my family .then discontinued. ever since then my bp is normal but I get palpitations and have slight fever. It has been 3-4 days now. What to do?

Check your bp at least once a week & keep a record. Never ever abruptly discontinue anti-hypertensives - it may cause huge surge in blood pressure & affect your health. Most likely you have anxiety disorder, but more information would be required. Hence, please get a teleconsultation with a psychiatrist and if needed, you might be started on a medication to reduce anxiety. That should help with your bp fluctuations also upto some extent. But, as soon as the lockdown is over, do consult a cardiologist also with your blood pressure recordings.

Good day friend. I can understand your suitation. You need to control your anxiety or anxious thoughts to control the bp. .medicine alone can't help in such suitation. You need to cope with the lock down related unwanted thoughts and fear. Be positive. You need a counseling guidance to learn and manage anxiety. Follow relaxation techniques, meditation, listening to music etc to calm down your mind. Be positive. You will be alright soon. Feel free to reach me online or through Lybrate chat for further assistance for anxiety management.

Dear Priyanka, It is perfectly normal to become anxious due to lock down. During anxiety, the bp fluctuates. Please talk to someone close to you. Don't check your bp repeatedly. It usually fluctuates with position, exercise and tensions. It may not be bp disorder needing olmin. Palpitations are also common with anxiety due to lock down. Please check temperature by a thermometer and if it is above 99 degrees, please go to local doctor. Now many of them are open.
