Does stress really cause high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes! The body releases a surge of hormones when under stress. These hormones cause the heart to beat faster and the blood vessels to narrow. These actions increase blood pressure for a time and there can be harmful side effects.
