    I'm in the U.S. so it's all just soccer to me. 😀 Good luck to your home team though!

    So Chelsea fan or Stokie bird like me? Actually couldn't care less!

    If I do get wound up about anything, I try a little 'yogic breathing'. Not as dippy as it sounds. You just basically concentrate on your breathing - none of us do this properly. It is very relaxing.cheesygrin

    Relaxation deep breathing, step away from the game and relax to bring down your anxieties. I have had similar incidents like when i am with or around my mom my anxieties are high i just have to step away to take a quite time to myself for a little bit 

    then when relaxed i go back do that

    I'm post menopausal and suffer from anxiety and high blood pressure. The doctor explained to me that it's external high blood pressure brought about by anxiety. I take amlodopine blood pressure tablets but if I'm very anxious my b.p goes up whatever. By th way I'm a chelsea fan so well done.
