Does Stress Increases The Blood Pressure?

Hi, Im a 30 year old female with high blood pressure which is currently at 144 over 102. I just visited my doctor a few days ago and he wants to see me again within a few weeks. I've been on medication for depression and anxiety for the last 2 years. I was wondering if stress has anything to do with the high blood pressure as well?

Hi
though stress is related to high blood pressure
yet grade 3 severe diastolic bp at a age of 30 can not be just because of anxiety
young age grade 3 diastolic blood pressure can be because of renal artery stenosis, i would suggest you a renal artery doppler to find out the stenosis of renal artery.

another possibility is pheochromocytoma therefore i would advice you to check your vinyl mandelic acid and metanephrines ,
stress can increase b.p but not grade 3 diastolic bp can be just because of stress at such a young age
avoid over oily and junk food , work out for 45 minutes a day
I find this answer helpful
