Stress and Blood Pressure
The Stress-Pressure Connection
Stress causes temporary spikes in blood pressure due to the release of stress hormones like adrenaline. In the U.S., chronic stress can contribute to long-term high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
To lower blood pressure, managing stress is key. Practices like yoga, deep breathing, and regular exercise can help keep both stress and blood pressure under control.
