hypertension reason - #16029

Aayan

I am kind of freaking out about my blood pressure lately. I went for a check-up a few weeks ago, and my doctor said it was high – like, 150/95 or something. I thought I was doing alright, but I guess I’ve been feeling more stressed than usual, and maybe that’s the hypertension reason? Like, I've been working long hours, and I don't always eat well. Just last weekend, I had a pretty intense argument with my partner, and my heart was racing, sweat dripping down my face. That got me thinking, could emotional stress really be a hypertension reason? Also, I heard my sister mention something about how certain foods can play a role, and I kinda wondered if coffee is part of the hypertension reason too? My mom has hypertension, and I’ve never really laid out all the factors before. I’m starting to think maybe a lack of exercise is significant, but I keep telling myself that I’ll get to it later. Do you guys have advice or insights? It’s been a rollercoaster, unsure if I need to make drastic changes or what, you know? Just feeling a bit lost.
