How can I learn to relax with chronic anxiety and high blood pressure?


I have had to live excessive stress for the past 4 years. My health has been changed because of the stress. I have high blood pressure and anxiety. Doctors all say I need to relax...
How can one do that

  1. It is very difficult to remove yourself from stress, when your life is swimming in it thru no fault of your own. It is equally impossible to just accept the chaos that you feel all the time is surrounding you.You do need to get on an anti-anxiety medication and try to exercise to try to get rid of some of the stress, I can tell you from experience that nothing helps like medication, especially if your life circumstances are such that you can do nothing to change them. much luck!

  2. idk i have severe anxiety and have recently started medication but i find that swimming and just being with my friends takes my mind of things that are stressing me out so i have less anxiety

  3. By accepting your life as it is, at any given moment.

    Stress is a result of resistance, so say yes to what is, rather than saying no.

  4. Learn meditation. It helped me a lot.

  5. 1. Remove yourself from the stress you are experiencing.
    2. If that is not possible, ask your doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist.
    3. Ask your primary doctor or a psychiatrist about Beta-Blockers. They lower your blood pressure and reduce anxiety. Also, ask about anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines (Valium, Klonopin, Ativan).

  6. I also have chronic anxiety and high blood pressure have you tried talking to someone? You might need some medication to help relieve the stress but until that happens if you can’t think of anything to help you distress than I would suggest that you go to either the library or a book store and get a book on relaxation techniques When I’m really stressed out I take a bath and I find a good book and a cup of tea that helps relax me but if you can’t find something to help relax yourself than find a book or go on the net and get some ideas. You might think of talking up yoga.
