Stress-induced hypertension is high blood pressure

Elevated blood pressure caused by tension does not belong to the category of hypertension, which is a pathological change that refers to an increase in the pressure of blood in the patient’s blood vessels, a change that often requires medication to reduce. The increase in blood pressure caused by stress is actually a normal physiological response, because the body will experience a series of neurological and blood changes after stress, there will be sympathetic excitation, increased heart rate, increased heart contraction force and vasoconstriction, which will produce a temporary hypertensive response. In addition to this, strenuous exercise and emotional excitement may also cause a temporary increase in blood pressure, but this is not part of hypertension, but a normal physiological response. Under normal circumstances, blood pressure is not always stable and fluctuates within a specific range.
