Can Anxiety Cause High Blood Pressure?

When we are anxious or fearful our bodies go into a fight or flight response and release hormones into our bloodstream, so we are able to fight back or run away from danger.
We may feel our muscles tense, our digestion shuts down, our heart rate may increase and our breathing becomes more shallow.
So as your heart rate increases, it pushes more blood around your body, and this is why we have increased blood pressure. It is there to serve us and get us away from the danger. Once the danger has passed, our bodies return to normal and our blood pressure decreases again.
However, if we are constantly in an anxious state, our bodies don't get the opportunity to rest and return to normal. This can have negative consequences, so we need to take steps to calm ourselves down.
We can do this through exercise, breathing techniques, journalling, spending time in nature and talking to a loved one.
If you are still struggling though, you may need to speak to an anxiety specialist.
