<s>[INST] Is there such a thing as nervous hypertension? [/INST] Blood pressure may increase when you are nervous, or during periods of stress due to problems at work, bereavements, separation, etc., but it is only temporary. These short-term increases in blood pressure values are reduced by tranquillisers. Stress can trigger or contribute to the onset of hypertension, but it does not cause or aggravate it.
