Anxiety and blood pressure
I have been dealing with severe anxiety and have had panicked attacks. I was put on protonix (pantoprazole) for about a month and a half. It caused severe side effects. My blood pressure was a little higher before I started it, about 138/84. And it elevated it to around 148/87 pretty much the whole time I was on it. Now that I'm off of it my blood pressure is 118/69. Is it possible that it could be dropping more than usual because of the protonix or could it be all in my head and be anxiety?
