Can having a worrying attitude cause high blood pressure and could lead to a possible heart attack?
Stress/lifestyle can ABSOLUTELY contribute to high blood pressure, although genetic predisposition and diet are bigger risk factors. High blood pressure can contribute to heart attacks and heart disease. It can also lead to kidney disease/failure (which leads to dialysis, etc). I’ll tell you – as a health professional (and a WORRIER) — you would do well to learn healthy ways to deal with your stress and worrying now. Finding a healthy outlet for anxiety is such a weight off your shoulders!
