Your blood pressure goes up momentarily when you get angry, excited, frightened or when you are under stress.

 

If you are constantly stressed over a prolonged period, you may be at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure.

 

Stress may cause palpitation, headaches, insomnia and digestive symptoms.

Prolonged stress may contribute to a heart attack. Emotional stress and tension also cause the body to produce adrenaline, which makes the heart pump faster and harder, and may also cause the blood vessels to narrow.
