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.
