Blood pressure and stress -
Shaw et al. Based on periodic 6-month assessments of blood pressure over 6 years, the risk for borderline hypertension was greater for caregivers than for controls HR 4. Capistrant et al. Thus, available evidence strongly suggests a link between caregiving stress and the risk of incident hypertension and temporal blood pressure elevation.
This article reviewed the clinical significance of stress-related elevations in blood pressure in office and out-of-office settings separately. WCH was the most common office stress-related hypertension phenotype. Currently, there is no definite evidence indicating that untreated WCH is associated with increased cardiovascular event risk compared with normotension.
However, WCH is associated with long-term risk of sustained hypertension and diabetes. Moreover, WCH demonstrates worse cardiovascular prognosis as compared with normotension in the diabetic population.
The risk of WCH is never determined from temporal data but must be evaluated from long-term observation of hypertension phenotype and development of complication. Masked hypertension is a well-known poor prognostic hypertension phenotype.
The cause of masked hypertension is complex, but stress at workplace or home could be involved. Chronic stress as well as allostatic load, distorted lifestyle, and mental distress could increase blood pressure.
Removal of such stress is difficult, and the evidence is limited if stress-reduction techniques have hypotensive effects. Bromfield S, Muntner P. High blood pressure: the leading global burden of disease risk factor and the need for worldwide prevention programs.

Work environment as a profound modulator of blood pressure Work may be the most influential factor for out-of-office blood pressure in subjects on the job [ 87 ]. In about 1 in 10 cases, high blood pressure happens as the result of an underlying health condition or taking a certain medicine.
In these cases, your blood pressure may return to normal once you stop taking the medicine or drug. Page last reviewed: 11 July Next review due: 11 July Home Health A to Z High blood pressure hypertension Back to High blood pressure hypertension.
