Hello I am male and I am 23 years old, a few weeks ago I noticed that my veins become visible throughout the body, Im very skinny, the last few months I have insomnia, and Im a hypochondriac, my blood pressure is slightly elevated 133/76 , Im a non-smoker and do not drink alcohol, I was wondering if this could be caused by excessive fear and stress ... thanks
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I have gone through your available history. Stress and fear is known to cause elevated blood pressure. But you should rule out the other causes of essential hypertension as well. You should consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management. Your doctor may rule out physical causes by advising you to go for blood investigation. Doctor may prescribe you Chat Doctor.  He may advise you to go for psychotherapy or counselling. Thanks.
