Can Stress Cause Fluctuations In Blood Pressure?
I take enalapril 10mg daily. I am finding that recently I have a lot of stress and noticed that my blood pressure gets higher when I get stressed out . The last time I became stressed after a long drive of 12 hours my diastolic was up to 100. I have to take oxazepam to bring it down along with an extra enalapril. If I have a glass of wine to calm me down it helps initially but then the following day my Bp goes up again . Can stress cause fluctuations in my blood pressure?

hi
surely stress can cause elevations in blood pressure levels.
same thing with the wine
please check out with your regular physician for the uncontrolled bp fluctuations,either to add up with additional dose or increasing the doses with proper medical attention
please avoid oily, salty, heavy foods, wine , smoking
all the best
take care
