Stress. BP's gonna go up to 180?


Passionate about making a difference.
Whether blood pressure will rise to 180mmHg when stressed needs to be analyzed in combination with specific conditions.
Human blood pressure is divided into diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure, while adults in a quiet state, normal diastolic blood pressure is 60-89mmHg, systolic blood pressure is 90-139mmHg. Blood pressure is easily affected by a variety of factors, including emotional state, such as when emotional stress, can lead to sympathetic nerve excitation, causing peripheral vasoconstriction, myocardial contractility to strengthen, thus causing blood pressure to rise, but in this case the degree of increase is limited, generally will rise about 20mmHg, even systolic blood pressure, but also more in 160mmHg fluctuations, and in a short period of time will gradually return to normal, rarely will reach 180mmHg. However, for patients with hypertension themselves, especially when the condition is not well controlled, it may reach 180mmHg with excessive emotional stress.
