Key highlights or summary
- Adrenaline is one of the hormones released during anxiety; this increases the heart rate and constricts the blood vessels, thereby inducing temporary elevations in the blood pressure.
- High blood pressure and anxiety feed each other. Being diagnosed can spark worry, and that anxiety can raise your pressure further, creating a vicious cycle.
- Symptoms of both often overlap. For dizziness, chest tightness, and fast heartbeats, patients cannot sometimes tell which condition they're suffering from, and that uncertainty causes even more anxiety.
- Managing both means treating mind and body together. Sleep, therapy, routine, and self-awareness all play vital roles.
