Can lots of recent stress cause high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes.: In some people, blood pressure is unusually sensitive to stress. However, in the majority, one has to have a propensity to hypertension for stress to augment it. In other words, stress is like an amplifier of the underlying hypertension.
