Yeah I know. High BP can cause heart failure, but not low. I'm not worrying about low BP causing heart failure, I'm worried that my low BP is an early symptom of heart failure.

I used to have prehypertension and I find it odd that now I have low blood pressure without getting healthier or more in shape.

My anxiety disorder used to cause my blood pressure to sky rocket and my heart rate to increase a lot. It still causes my heart to race, but now my blood pressure doesn't rise much. I'm just worried that all those years of my anxiety took a toll on my heart and now it is failing.

I know this is very unlikely though. My heart rate is usually normal. I would think that heart failure would cause my heart to beat faster to make up for the lack of force?

I can't stop being anxious about my anxiety causing problems. Ironic eh? LOL
