title: [Arterial hypertension and anxiety in primary care].
abstract: Various forms of hypertension and anxiety are two very frequent reasons for consultations in primary care. Prevalence of comorbidity HTA/anxiety is unknown in France. Practically, general practitioners meet sometime the association of both typical pathologies. More often, they wonder about the interpretation of high blood pressure figures with an anxious patient, and inversely about the responsibility of the hypertension (with the suite of phantasms) with the apparition of anxious symptoms. Both these last clinical situations are the more frequent in general practice. The global clinical approach, the listening, the time use as help for diagnosis, the use of personal patient's characteristics and his/her environment more often allow to distinguish and to propose an individual therapeutic strategy.
