Why Do Anxiety and Blood Pressure Often Affect Each Other?

The relationship between anxiety and blood pressure can sometimes feel confusing.

Many people assume high blood pressure causes anxiety, but hypertension is usually symptomless.

More commonly, anxiety activates the body's stress response, temporarily increasing blood pressure and heart rate.

Factors That Influence Both

Common contributors include:

• Chronic stress.
• Poor sleep quality.
• Excessive caffeine intake.
• Nicotine use.
• Lack of physical activity.

Recognising these shared triggers can help improve both emotional wellbeing and cardiovascular health.
