Bp pobia and ocd
Hi, I am Santanu. I suffer a lot from health anxiety. I have done ECG and Echocardiogram twice, and no problems have been detected.
I have seen many doctors, and they referred me to a psychiatrist. I am currently getting better and have completely stopped taking medicines for now.
But one problem still remains – and that is BP phobia. I feel scared when I see BP machines.
At home, I check my BP many times. The systolic fluctuates between 120, 122, 127, 130, 138, and the lower value (diastolic) stays around 75–85. All day, from morning to night, I keep measuring my BP. Even when I go out, I carry a BP apparatus in my bag, fearing that my BP might suddenly go high.
Sometimes, when I check once and feel satisfied, I don’t think about it for several days. But then after many days, I feel like measuring again – and if the reading comes even slightly abnormal, my anxiety starts all over again.
Now I want to know — how can I return to normal from this condition?
Please help me.

Apart from psychiatry meds, do some pranayam and meditation regularly. Try to keep yourself in some creative activities, that will divert the mind. Spend some time in good company as well.
