The meaning of stress



Stress
As hypertension is a disease of Westernized, and particularly of urban societies (although large urban/rural differences are not seen much in Europe and the USA), it is tempting to attribute high blood pressure to the stress of modern living.

Certainly, acutely stressful stimuli raise blood pressure and may be more pressor in subjects who have hypertension.

However, there remains considerable doubt as to whether chronic stress raises blood pressure.

Investigation of environmental stress and high blood pressure in population surveys is founded by other social factors, including poverty, dietary fats, calorie, electrolyte and alcohol intake and cigarette smoking.

Studies of various psychological indices, including aggression, neuroticism and introversion, have produced conflicting results.

Many reliable studies have found no clear-cut effect.
In individuals, there is some evidence of a relationship between stress and hypertension.

The type A/type B classification of personality has demonstrated with many exceptions, that type A (stressed) people have higher blood pressure and a relatively higher risk of death than type B people.

However, hypertensive patients may only develop higher stress levels once they have been diagnosed and made to worry about their health.

The term ‘hypertensive personality’ is misleading and may only be an accurate description of people who are called frequently to attend the blood pressure clinic.

Stress and High Blood Pressure

Stress and High Blood Pressure
If you are anxious, angry, have been hurrying, have a full bladder or if you are cold then your BP will rise for a few minutes or even a few hours – but none of these things seem to be causes of permanently raised high blood pressure. High blood pressure seems to be just as common in peaceable, even tempered people without worries as it is in excitable people with short fuses, however, feeling pushed at work or at home may be an important cause in some people, if not for everyone.

The word hypertension is used in medical jargon with exactly the same meaning as high blood pressure. This does not mean that feeling tense necessarily raises blood pressure, nor does it mean that most people with high blood pressure feel tense. Blood pressure falls considerably during normal sleep, both in people with normal blood pressure and in those whose blood pressure is high. Training in relaxation certainly lowers blood pressure for a while, and may have a useful long term effect on high blood pressure in people who learn how to switch off often during the day, but there is no evidence that treatment by relaxation along is an effective or safe alternative to drug treatment for people with severe high blood pressure.
