Will people have high blood pressure when they are nervous

When people are nervous, they usually cause blood pressure to rise.

When people are nervous, they can cause sympathetic nerve excitation, and sympathetic nerve will stimulate catecholamine secretion in the body. This substance can act on the heart, promote cardiac contractility, accelerate heart rate, and also act on peripheral blood vessels, causing small blood vessels to contract, thus increasing peripheral vascular resistance. Under the influence of these factors, blood pressure usually rises. But this blood pressure rise is usually transient. With the body's mood stable, blood pressure will gradually return to normal. However, if the human body is in a state of mental tension for a long time, it can break the balance between vegetative nerves and may cause hypertension.
