good for you
seems likely your blood pressure is more of white coat a waste of resources to go through all investigations suggested by cardiologist ETT for high bp in 26 year old only fits in pakistani model of medical practice.i am agutted because this sort of practice in particular individual like yoourself who have health anxities reinforce the behaviour rather to act as theraputic measure.
Briefly you are not alone health anxity is extremely common is not to have over investigation but reflection on thoughts and seek example just for a second think what are chances of some one acquiring this weared illness that i never heard of by being in water once and even if we persume this is is extremely low .so rational thought process is important.
if it is part of general anxity you might like to try some antidepressants for few months though in most cases some open discussion and support is blood pressure seems more of whitecoat element which is linked to anxity .if you need to discuss it further plese book consult via marham to have chat in detail.

kashif
