Can chronic stress and anxiety raise your blood pressure enough to cause a brain aneurysm to form?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic hypertension: left untreated, can weaken blood vessel walls and lead to the formation of aneurysms. Stress and anxiety alone are not factors that would weaken the blood vessel wall.
