It is common to have high blood pressure during stressful periods of your life. However, if the blood pressure continues to be elevated, you need to be checked out by a medical professional and have an EKG, routine screening blood work, and information regarding diet and exercise. In the meantime I will try to avoid stress, try to reduce stress, exercise, eat healthy, avoid salty foods, and double your water intake. You should also try to increase the fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and a mega three in your diet. Significantly high blood pressures are known to cause significant heart and brain disease.
