Do you think this couldve been an anxiety attack?

Could be. Did you have any other symptoms? Besides a pounding heart & dizziness, I usually have difficulty breathing (feel I can't get nearly enough air), tingling (mostly in the extremities), heightened reflexes. I've often described it to H like the feeling you get when you are nearly in a car crash (excepting if I have a chest pain, usually I don't though, just wildly pounding heart that feels like it wants to jump out of my chest).
I'm glad you're OK. Do you have any idea what caused the high blood pressure? Was it stress over thinking you had a heart issue? What did the doctor say regarding that?
Were you able to contact your pdoc?
