Could Elevation In Blood Pressure Be Due To Stress?
I am a 35 year old working mother of 3, wife, and student nurse in my 3rd semester. I quit smoking and drinking cold turkey about 2 months ago and my blood pressure is extremely high. Last checked non-resting: 165/100. resting: 158/92 and I am 136 lbs, 5 5. Could this just be stress or lifestyle change? I thought no drinking and smoking was supposed to improve one s health, not bring about stroke-like symptoms!

High weight also can be responsible for it. so avoid stress by reading books, hearing music of your choice, exercise or gardening, public friend get together all can helpful in relieving stress. drinking redwine in mild dose is helfpul for heart attacks and stroke. smoking is to be avoided totally. take low salt diet to reduce blood pressure. if blood pressure is not come to normal by above all means then consult your local doctor and start treatment with drug to reduce blood pressure. hope this helps
