Hi Juan-

Your blood pressure can go higher, because when you are anxious you are squirting adrenaline into your body. Adrenaline pinches the blood vessels tighter and causes the heart to beat harder and faster. Which increases the pressure that is measured.

On the same token, calming yourself will reduce your blood pressure.

Do you have the program or some kind of relaxation CD? That will help alot.
