I'm actually wondering if you have considered that you may be having an anxiety or panic attack, and that is the underlying "cause" that Diane was mentioning as a possibility? An anxiety/panic attack can have many or all of the symptoms that you have described (just in reverse order...you said the blood pressure was causing the anxiety, but perhaps it is the anxiety causing you to have a physical reaction, including your blood pressure increasing?).

It may be an option to talk with a psychotherapist, as well, if your primary doctor was not able to help you with the prescription. Please also let your primary doctor know that the prescription did not work, as s/he will have many other options for you to try.

And, it is important also to know of any underlying health conditions, including physical and psychological, as Diane asked. High blood pressure is a SYMPTOM of something, and an underlying cause should be sought by either a medical doctor, a psychologist, or both.
