Does chronic stress likely exacerbate existing hard-to-control hypertension?

Of course: It will disrupt stress hormone levels and further impact the cardiovascular system. Stress must be managed properly, just as diet, exercise and weight to control bp.

Possibly: Blood pressure that's is seemingly "resistant" often is due to White Coat Hypertension(Blood Pressure that is high only in the doctor's office, and normal at home). It's important for your physician to recheck your BP two additional times 20 minutes apart. Often the 2nd or 3rd reading will be normal. If still high check your BP when home.
