Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Blood pressure can indeed get high by stress. It is an old and well known fact. Anxiolytics will help bring the blood pressure back to normal.

As for sugars, the stress induced hyperglycemia is known> However it lasts for short duration only. I would suggest an HbA1C again in 3 months to confirm. Repeat FBS and PPBS if you are on tablets.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
