A member asked:
Why does nervousness cause high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nervousness and anxiety can trigger release of stress hormones that can raise the blood pressure some. This would not be expected to raise it into a dangerous range in the short term but might have health risks over time.
