Emotional agitation may cause blood pressure to rise, but it generally does not directly cause hypertension.
When people are in an emotional state, their heart rate increases and the heart's load increases, making it work harder to pump blood throughout the body. Vasoconstriction causes an increase in vascular resistance, making it harder for the heart to push blood through constricted blood vessels. These changes can cause blood pressure to rise. But the rise is generally transient, and as the mood stabilizes, blood pressure drops, and it does not directly cause hypertension.
