I think meditation really helps with blood pressure. My friend has a high blood pressure problem, and she can reduce it with meditation programs. I think guided meditations are the easiest, and you can find many on youtube.
My friend has a blood pressure cuff, and she measured before and after the meditation. She meditated for 30 minutes (which is longer than I ever have, to be honest). Her blood pressure went way down.

Studies have demonstrated increased sympathetic activity (increased blood pressure, heart rate and arrhythmia’s) in patients before any dental procedures (including administration of local anaesthetics) reflecting fear and anxiety and the effects of endogenous adrenaline in response to these feeling. Avoid drinking caffeine or other stimulating drinks before going for dental appointments. I also read, many people practice taking antibiotics before going to the dentist for any procedure, including a regular cleaning. However, I am not really sure about this one. Better to get it confirm with your GP.

Even so, there is something known as 'white coat syndrome' - situations like doctors/dentists that put up your BP (though in my case it should be 'taking mum shopping syndrome' I can feel my BP rising just thinking about it!
)
I also get palpatations, but I find acknowledging them and taking time out to concentrate on my breathing makes a BIG difference.
I'd say get to your GP and get to the bottom of WHY this is happening. But try not to get into a state about it. Are there any Yoga classes near you? That's very calming.

Yesterday the dentist wanted to do a prudontial cleaning and all i asked for was a regular cleaning
I am having my boyfriend check to see what kind of cleaning he is going to have because he has chipped teeth and his teeth are not to good
If they give him a regular cleaning than i am going to complain about this to the dentist because i should only have a regular cleaning just the polish
Not the prodontial cleaning where they get to the gums and clean
I am getting a second opion with this
