Yes! That's a big issue for me. I am a anxious person and high strung, high levels of energy and essentially a fire cracker. I have been that way most of my life my personality did not help my blood pressure. But one can't remake themselves no matter what--only modify and I do modify but I also fail many times.... Any good suggestions are extremely helpful of how to change yourself and go against the grain of everything about yourself. My norm is not to be calm or collected. My norm is to take the world by storm and I don't hold back. My extreme passion for everything is problematic because I am all in or out--no middle ground with my personality--not very good for the heart, blood pressure, etc. Even as a child, I knew a likely problem would be my heart being able to handle the stress of my personality. I guess I failed....

So sorry to hear that. I am a fire cracker myself since my younger age. I also have a4.3 ascending on my aorta, high cholesterol but thank God, no high blood pressure. I do think my faith helps me to keep that under control. Anxiety and worry is not my problem but I live to the fullest and have to get into everything. I’m learning at my 69 yo age that moderation and taking my time and enjoying life each and every day is a better choice for me. Will pray for wisdom for your doctors on how to help you.
