Can Stress Cause High Blood Pressure, Chest Pressure And Headaches?
My son is 33, and has been experiencing high blood pressure, chest pressure, headaches for past 2+ weeks. He just changed jobs, so I thought it might be stress. Today his BP is 185/111. He has no medical insurance until April 1 so he has not been to a DR. Should he go to an ER and tell them he has no insurance? Or, just continue to take his BP, chart it and wait until his insurance kicks in?

He MUST go to the ER
Yes, stress may be responsible
Whatever it be, this level needs treatment
Better be safe than sorry
Take care
