    Your numbers look pretty good. There are people on a bunch of meds who never see such lovely numbers.

    Mine was 116 at the doctors.. Got fully tested for my heart, nothing is wrong.. Anxiety has raised it to 150s before for me. Completely normal.

    Your blood pressure is normal

    Heart Rate is ok

    When we are stressed your pulse Rate and blood pressure rise. Sometimes they say it is a White Coat fear, been worried at the GP or Hospital.

    You are ok so relax

    I don't think that med will relieve your tension headache,because it's a tension headache caused from anxiety,not just a tension headache caused by a stressful day. I had a tension headache that lasted for 8 long,long years. 2 neuro's,and I was on every thing from soup to nuts,and it didn't go away. What in fact took it away was a antidepressant, just saying. Good luck.
