Can you get high blood pressure in a bad mood for a long time?

Long-term bad mood may lead to high blood pressure. Because when the mood fluctuates, it will lead to the increase of sympathetic nerve activity, excessive activation of sympathetic nervous system, increased adrenaline secretion, accelerated heart rate, enhanced myocardial contractility, increased cardiac output and contraction of peripheral blood vessels, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure to a certain extent.

If the blood pressure is high because of long-term bad mood, avoid mental stress or long-term mental stress work in daily life, maintain a good mood, adjust your mentality, solve problems, talk to relatives and friends if you have psychological pressure, and communicate with people more. After mental stress is relieved, blood pressure will return to normal. Exercise more, such as jogging, cycling, swimming, Tai Ji Chuan, aerobics, square dance, etc.

Long-term depression can lead to hypertension. Emotion will affect blood pressure, and excessive excitement or depression will lead to an increase in blood pressure. Long-term anxiety, tension, depression and other emotions will constantly cause excessive excitement of sympathetic nerve, stimulate renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, increase peripheral vascular resistance, and cause hypertension.

In addition, it can also act on hypothalamus, pituitary gland and adrenal cortex, which increases the secretion of adrenocortical hormone, leads to disorder of water and salt metabolism and further raises blood pressure. If the patient's mood is too excited and excited, the sensitivity of vascular baroreceptor will be reduced and the regulation of blood pressure will be hindered. Therefore, excessive emotional excitement will affect the endocrine system, causing sudden contraction of blood vessels and elevated blood pressure. Pay attention to control your emotions in your daily life, and don't keep ups and downs.
