High blood pressure, or hypertension, is the movement of blood against the walls of your arteries while the heart pumps blood throughout the body. The more pressure applied to the blood flow against the artery walls, the higher your blood pressure rises. It's hard to detect since there are no obvious symptoms other than headaches. However, stress from emotional situations, such as illness or a death in the family, trigger blood pressure spikes. Job situations, such as increased workload, can also trigger stress, which in turn triggers high blood pressure. The correlation between stress and high blood pressure varies since some people handle stressful situations better than others. You can relieve stress and lower your blood pressure risk through meditation, yoga or by venting your problems to a loved one. Blood pressure returns to normal once the stressful situation ends.
