Can stress cause high blood pressure?
Housework, traveling, work pressure – meeting everyone’s demands every day is undoubtedly exhausting. There are times in our lives when we feel like we can no longer manage our lives. We find ourselves in a web of fear, irritability and forgetfulness that affects us negatively. Such times of stress have more or less become just another addition to our daily lives. And it’s definitely slowly but steadily affecting our health.
Stress and high blood pressure
Stress is linked to high blood pressure. And all other diseases such as heart failure, kidney failure and stroke are linked to high blood pressure.
Our blood pressure rises in stressful times. Our heart rate also increases very quickly. Our body produces certain hormones that cause our blood pressure to rise. These hormones also cause the heart to beat faster and to narrow the blood vessels. This appears to be a temporary phase. However, overtime, the behavior patterns associated with stress negatively affect our blood pressure. It is believed that responding to stress makes the blood thicker and more viscous. This, in turn, can lead to blood clots.
Stress is the main cause of unhealthy and self-destructive behavior. Common habits people deal with when dealing with stress include overeating, wrong foods, drinking alcohol, smoking, drug use, etc. Sometimes one neglects one’s health by avoiding medication and all of these factors contribute to high blood pressure – hence has Stress has an indirect effect on high blood pressure.
In general, there are two types of stress – acute and chronic.
Acute stress
Acute stress occurs when you are exposed to very high levels of stress for a short period of time. This usually happens because of a specific situation. During times of stress, steroid hormones and the stress hormone cortisol are released. These hormones cause an increased heart rate and decreased blood vessel diameter, which leads to increased blood pressure.
Chronic stress
Chronic stress is the grinding stress that wears people down and lasts for a long period of time. It can contribute to long-term heart and blood vessel problems. When the stress response system is activated, it automatically affects other systems, such as: B. the increase in blood pressure, the blood sugar level and the decrease in the immune response. The steady and sustained increase in heart rate as well as the increased levels of stress hormones and blood pressure put a strain on your health. This long-term stress increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke.
Coping with stress to reduce high blood pressure
Repeated acute stress and persistent chronic stress are both conditions that need to be addressed and treated in a timely manner. At times when you are completely lost in the heat of a stressful moment, you are unknowingly causing so much damage to yourself. In such cases, take a deep breath and just sit down and clarify the cause of the outbreak in your head first. Talk to someone you can trust and let the negative voice in you subside before you take on your job.
The first step in stress management begins with training your mind to take control of the situation and not become a victim of your own negative thoughts and emotions. Appropriate professional therapy and self-help tools can help reduce the negative effects of your daily pressures.
