Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per the information you have provided, you are suffering from both anxiety and hypertension. Best way to control both is having a regular exercise 3 to 4 times per week and a morning walk. And as you are already on tablet Buspirone, if you are not getting relieved from your anxiety try to increase the dose of Buspirone, under guidance of your psychiatrist. If it is still not working better to shift to Tablet Escitalopram or Sertraline which relieves you from anxiety on long-term basis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
