I'm dealing with a cold and cough right now, and it's making me super anxious about my blood sugar levels. I decided to get a blood test done and walked about 500m to the clinic for it. Right after that, I felt the need to check my blood pressure and it came out as 140100. I'm really wondering if my anxiety and the cold are causing this spike in my blood pressure. Could that be possible?
