Okay, alot of these post are correct and some arent and some are half and half.
Its like this, blood pressure varies tremendously. AVERAGE, key word average, is 120/80. My normal blood pressure is 130/80, my fathers normal blood presure is 112/70, I have a much bigger arm than he does, and this also causes variation in blood pressure readings.my mother who has a smaller arm than my dad and me has a bp of 116/80 or so. So you see variations occur for many reason, genetics, size of arm etc etc... Its generally assumed that a CONSTANT systolic bp of 140 may be a problem(Stage one hyper tension, but again 142/85 might be okay for some people), anything over 150 is defiantly a problem(stage 2 hypertension)
When im very nervous my blood pressure can be 196/90. I went to the hospital once when i had my first panic attack and my bp was 190/90 in the ambulance with HR around 110, and im sure it was much higher when I called 911 cause I felt much better in the ambulance. When i called 911 im sure my bp was 200/90 and i was just sitting there( i felt like i was going to die). But this is okay, because my body was in fight or flight mode so my body made the nessecary changes to handle the rise in blood pressure without serious risk to my actual physical health... my mental health is something different though.
Chest pain is also a symptom of anxiety. Are you sure it was "REAL" cheat pain, because REAL chest pain is going to hurt, not just some thing that kinda bothers you like a gas pain. Although a radiating pain that is dull and not hurt too much shouldnt be ignored either, in fact if you have chest pain it should be almost always checked. You have to know your body and understand what your feeling. I know when im having anxiety, you must know too.
Also when you do cardio, your bp can be over 200/100 easily. When you weight lift your systolic blood pressure, the top number can be up to 400. This is normal when you lift weights, really lift wieght like bench pressing 250 lbs or squating sets of 300 or deadlifting 450 lbs. If your doing light weight than your bp shouldnt get out of the 200's, but serious weight lifting your bp can be up to 400 or slightly higher. This is why if your going to do an extreme exercising routine you need to have everything checked out. A normal healthy body can tolerate bp this high as long as its for a reason, the body has ways to compensate. However, if there is something wrong with you like a heart problem or a small tear in some artery, you wont be able to handle this kind of pressure.There have been cases of professional weight lifters dying because their aorta ruptures(although they were doing 800 lbs) Point of the story, if your going to do hardcore lifting, make sure you get the okay from you doctor.
Know your body, know your limits, this is the first step.
