I found out my pdoc diagnosed me with GAD too, probably because she's seen me in all kinds of anxiety over the years.

If you do have anxiety and high blood pressure you might have something called white coat syndrome, my mom has this...ie her blood pressure spikes at the doctors because she is nervous. The only way to know for sure is to get a reading in a non-clinical setting. You might be fine...
