ATTITUDE and BLOOD PRESSURE
Stress and anxiety can trigger the body’s “fight or flight” response, which causes the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones increase heart rate and blood pressure. Over time, chronic stress can lead to sustained high blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems.
There are many ways to manage stress and anxiety, including exercise, relaxation techniques, and therapy. If you’re concerned about your blood pressure, it’s important to talk to your doctor.
