Answers:
Yes of course it can, but being worried about it will only make it worse so be proactive. Do something about lowering it by meditating or exercising to reduce your anxiety levels. Health Question & Answer

Since you have anxiety, why not take a betablocker type medication like Atenenol or Inderal.? It will slow down your heart rate a bit, lower your blood pressure and help a lot with anxiety attacks. These medication can make you feel quite cold in winter so dress warmly. If you have asthma, you can't take them. If you have a family history of high blood pressure, I would take medication for sure and lower your salt intake.Health Question & Answer
