Could anyone give me a straight answer as to whether anxiety can cause lasting blood pressure. In other words.

If your in a stressful environment, can your blood pressure remain high for the whole period, ie 3 months, and then fall again when the stressfull environment is left?

My blood pressure is usually around the 140 / 80 mark. Although when im in a stressful job, for say 2 or 3 months it can rise on a daily basis top arond the 150 to 160 mark!! and remain there for most of the day. While i sleep or first thing in the morning it is around 125 / 80. But when i start work it goes up again and i cant keep it down.

What im trying to get to the bottom of is, when i finish the job that is causeing the stress and anxiety, can i excpect my blood pressure to return to normal level and remain there untill the next time of long term stress?

Hope someone can advise me...

Stress, anger, anxiety, panic, and pain can all make your blood pressure go up.

Whether it will come down once out of a stressful situation depends on the individual and their overall health. More then likely it will return to a normal range once out of the situation.

I've heard of it both ways. Some people experience chronic stress and develope hpb and it stays with them and they go on meds. Others bounce back to normal. It depends on each individual and their health going into the situation and their body's vulnerability.

No one should continually subject themselves to high stress. There is what is known as good stress and Bad stress. Bad stress depletes your body immediately upon experiencing it of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is the only vitamin our body does not produce and has to be injested. It is important to fighting free radicals that cause cancer.

My sister was a pilot for a major airline and was under constant stress for many years due to the rigid training, schedules, and compliances that pilots are subject to. She ended up with cancer and could not fight it - she was delpleted. As far as I and our family are concerned the stress of the job killed her not cancer.
