Left Side of Face Is Numb

Hoping someone can relate, I know eve is not a dr but I just need some comfort. Please.

I’m freaking the fuck out.

I’ve gone to the ER to see what this is and I had high blood pressure ( talking about 176/94).

Dr said it can be stress and anxiety but since I’m not paralyzed- can still move my face- and not in pain then to wait it out...

I’ve kept checking my blood pressure and it’s still high. I went to a cvs and tested it there about five times and after each time it’d get lower and lower. Lowest being 145/82.

I have an appointment this coming Monday to be re-evaluated because it feels like the numbness is spreading. Started out in my lips then to my cheek and now it seems like it’s on the aide of my face now too.

I am a worrier, so I stress about everything. High anxiety and get angry super quick. I try taking deep breaths, I’ll smoke weed once in a while, I’ll exercise, nothing seems to keep me off edge. I am overweight but have lost some pounds these past two months while on keto. I’m considering asking about anxiety meds along with the high blood pressure meds that I’ll hopefully be getting this coming Monday.

Every time I think about this I get even more stressed out and make things worse for myself...

If this gets any worse as in I become paralyzed or get a rash or feel any pain I’m goin straight to ER again. I’m scared, I’m 22 and everyone keeps telling me I’m too young to be having these problems, and people tell me they’ve had strokes at the numbers I’ve been producing...
