Q: I have had high anxiety with panic attacks for many years. Now I am on the drug Pexiva to stop the attacks. I am better, but when I go to the doctor my blood pressure goes up because of my anxiety. Does Pexiva cause high blood pressure?
A: The drug you are on, Pexeva (paroxetine) is known to cause low blood pressure, not high blood pressure. It sounds like you might be suffering from “white coat hypertension”. I suggest you discuss this with your doctor. RESPeRATE has been shown to help with this condition.
