Can Stress Cause High Blood Pressure?

I got a question here and she said that the cardiologist said that her (heart) piping her

(heart) plumbing was all fine but that stress was causing the problem and yes that is

true but we need to understand more about

what stress is stress is not just having too much to do and not enough time that

is indeed stress but stress is anything that can interfere with the body

anything that can activate or over activate the sympathetic nervous system and

anything that prevents that nervous system from finding the natural balance

so again for getting rid of stress is not the solution because the world is

still going to be there. We can't turn the world off. What we can do we can some

what... we can selectively reduce stress by changing our lifestyle a little bit but

more than that what we really want to do is help the body deal with the stress

better it's a physiological problem in addition to just the emotional stress so

people think of stress and they say oh yeah I have too much to do but it's it's

the emotional and the chemical and the structural stress it all interferes and

then we do something else in this office that takes a little more explaining but

it's it's basically about how the autonomic nervous system how flexible

and how good is it and regulating does it tend to get stuck or is it confused

and all of those factors can involve those stressors that we mentioned the

scars and the metals and so on so yes stress is a big problem it is

often the initiator but we can't just look at that

and ignore all the other things
