Is There A Name For This Problem?!


Question: Is There A Name For This Problem.?
Hey!

I don't have high blood pressure, but yet sometimes do, and would like to know if this is some kind of documented medical problem, and, if so, what name this can be found under.

You see, I recently had jury duty. Now, I was raped when I was two and three years old, and had to be involved in the court trial when my father was sentenced to prison. So, being in a courtroom was HIGHLY stressful for me.

also, I have social anxiety disorder. Being around a crowd makes me incredibly nervous. My mom and I have always said that it makes us feel as most normal people would feel if they had a gun to their head.

Well, that's actually a pretty accurate comparison, because I had my blood pressure tested on my jury duty day, and it was 153 over 108!!! BUT, I had it done again today (just two days later), and it was 110 over 62. So, I don't have high blood pressure, but I do when I have problematic social situations.

Is there a name for this.? I would really like to know, so that I can do research on it. Any and all help would be highly appreciated!!!

Luv ya,

Answers:
I believe its called stress related hypertension - you need to speak with your physician about this so you can get a relaxer -

Sorry to hear about your terrible ordeal with your father - no one should go through this. Health Question & Answer

You yourself have pointed out that when you find yourself in a stressful situation, your blood pressure elevates. This can be said for most of us. And it is stress-related hypertension. Address your anxiety triggers. See a psychiatrist and get a professional diagnosis by someone who knows. You'll undoubtedly be advised to start therapy with a psychologist. Talk therapy might be the way for you to go and the psychiatrist may eventually wish to prescribe an anxiolytic. Your mother could use some help as well. You may be reinforcing eachother.

I'm very sorry about what you've been put through and I'm not sorry your father is in prison. Good! But it's time you dealt with the damage he did. Please do this. Don't allow him to control you from prison. Get help and control your own life.Health Question & Answer

hate to break it to you... but no one on yahoo answers is really going to be able to help. Talk to someone who really knows what's going on. Psychiatrist or someone else who works with the brain would be helpful. good luck!Health Question & Answer
