>Hi Donna,
94/63 is great. 200/110 is pushing up towards a stroke if it is long term, but is probably OK if it is caused by a panic attack & is short term. Weight lifters can have 300+ pressure while performing a lift & they don't pop vessels :) Have you tried a Beta Blocker? These can stop a panic attack before you get one as they break the Brain-Heart-Brain cycle duraing an attack. The downside is they make it a little harder to exercise & can cause depression but taking one may help you to understand what is going wrong.
What drugs are you currently taking & are you still having success with weight lose while taking Effexor?
Cheers,
Panda.
