Just because a person experiences anxiety does not mean he or she will have high blood pressure but it does increase the risk, Stanley said. Controlling stress through healthy physical and behavioral practices can go long way toward keeping blood pressure spikes under control as well.
Periods of anxiety trigger the release of hormones that cause increased heart rate and decreased blood vessel diameter, both of which lead to increased blood pressure. The effect of stress on short term blood pressure can be dramatic, leading to mean arterial pressure increases of 30%-40%. These changes are short lived, though, with heart rate, blood vessel diameter, and blood pressure returning to normal as the hormones are eliminated. People with chronic anxiety disorders do not have chronic blood pressure increases as a result of their anxiety.
