An increase in blood pressure is a response to stress. The nervous system engages in the 'fight or flight' response when a person is under stress, anything from a bear attack to your boss yelling at you. Blood pressure is increased in two ways: First, blood vessels constrict as a response to an increase in epinephrine, and as a way to increase blood flow to the muscles. Second, the heart pumps faster, in order to increase blood flow to the brain and muscles, thus increasing alertness and muscular readiness.
Hypertension is sometimes brought on over time by several factors, such as sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, genetics, and living a high stress life (like many of us do!) Being under constant stress essentially 'trains' your body to remain at this state of hypertension even when there is no acute stress.
Yoga, exercise, improved diet, and sometimes bp meds can all help to control hypertension. Not treating hypertension can lead to several nasty outcomes:
* stroke * heart attack * kidney failure
If you or one of your loved ones has untreated hypertension, get them to the doctor.
well in most cases the more stress the higher the bllod pressure. for example if you are mad your blood pressure tends to go up. so as long as you keep your temper you should have a reasonable blood pressure
Stress is really a form of something called the fight or flight response. The body gets ready to run or fight. This response causes the heart to pump harder and that does increase the blood pressure.
Yes, most types of stress lead to production of hormones which raise blood pressure.
stress causes you to worry and "freak out"
it is understood that stress factors can raise BP. however that is usually not a chronic issue as much as it is an acute factor.
Stress is a source of increase for blood pressure.
yes it does :) yes it does :)

Stress and tension can be contributing factors to high blood pressure.
Emotional stress, food intake, alcohol and high heat temp. can cause blood pressure
It is referred to as hypertension.
I think tension is caused when your body becomes stressed and your blood pressure becomes higher,,, and with the imbalance of the hormones that is involved with stress too much of it will imbalance your mood and cause emotional problems....
To reduce high blood pressure, you can start with eating less sodium and getting more rest; these things can elevate the blood pressure, but so can other things like prolonged tension or stress.
As such there is no special reason to have high blood pressure in teens except psychological stress. Stress hormones will rise the blood pressure.
Stress activates the sympathetic nervous system which does increase the blood pressure. Many medications effect blood pressure, too many to name.
Any activity that relieves stress or causes stress can have an effect on your blood pressure. If watching fish relieves stress for you, it can have the effect of lowering your blood pressure.
This is a stress related blood vessel break. It is caused by high stress or elevated blood pressure due to exercise. More information can be found on medical websites.
They can be, in serious hypertension, but otherwise can be due to a whole range of reasons, for example tension (stress) headaches to migraine.
Headaches can be caused by literally hundreds of things. Common causes include stress, tension, eye strain, dehydration, low blood sugar, and sinusitis. Much rarer than these common causes, some headaches are caused by meningitis, encephalitis, cerebral aneurysms, extremely high blood pressure, and brain tumors.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can be caused by various things. Age, weight, diet, stress and family history are several factors that can cause high blood pressure.
