High Blood Pressure

Because I had a panic attack and went into the ER because I felt as if I was having a stroke (dizzyness/disorientation to a numbness feeling on one side/racing heart). I went to the doctor 2-3 days later and she recommended I have some blood work done (possibly having diabetes, etc). They told me nothing physically was wrong with me after doing a few small evaluations, and the doctor said it was probably anxiety. I'm now finding out numerous other family members have gone through the same thing, which is funny that they're telling me after the fact.
