How high can your blood pressure be before your surgeon postpones

or cancels your surgery date? I have had occasional, but only slightly high BP this last year. My preop testing was 12-17. My BP was 182/77. Today when I got my allergy shot I had the nurse take my BP and it was 184/100. I saw my PCP this afternoon. He thinks my elevated BP is due to anxiety, and that it will come down after my surgery on 12-27. To be on the safe side he prescribed Norvasc 5 mg. Think I had anxiety before? Well think about what I am experiencing now. My insurance approval is only good until 12-31. Has this ever happened to anyone?
