Hi I read your query very carefully. Your hypertension is related to work sttess and the best thing to do is to reduce stressful work events. However it s impossible to eliminate the stres so I recommend to begin treatment for hypertension. I suggest beginning with betablockers and anxiolitics. Hope it was of help! Dr. Benard
