A negative attitude causes certain hormones to affect heart rate, including epinephrine and norepinephrine. When this hormone increases, it makes the heart work harder and constricts the body's blood vessels, causing a temporary increase in blood pressure.
1. What is hypertension?
High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood pressure on the artery walls is elevated, which can eventually lead to health problems, such as heart disease. Blood pressure is determined by both the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of blood that obstructs the flow in your body's arteries. The more blood the heart pumps and the narrower the arteries, the higher the blood pressure.
Blood pressure consists of two numbers:
Systolic pressure - the first or top number is measured by the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. Diastolic pressure - the second or lower number measured by the pressure in the body's arteries between beats. You can experience high blood pressure for many years without any symptoms. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can increase your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.
Most people with high blood pressure do not have typical signs or symptoms, even when blood pressure readings reach dangerous levels. Some people with high blood pressure may experience headaches, shortness of breath, or nosebleeds, but these signs and symptoms are not specific and typically do not occur until the high blood pressure has cleared up. to a serious or life-threatening stage.

2. Negative attitude can raise blood pressure
A negative attitude that causes stress can increase blood pressure in the short term. However, if these bad attitudes occur regularly, it also increases the risk of high blood pressure in the long run.
The body's reaction to negative attitudes will cause the body to produce a spike in hormones. These hormones will increase blood pressure causing the body to beat faster, and blood vessels to narrow. Some negative behaviors associated with bad attitudes such as anxiety, depression, etc. also affect blood pressure such as smoking, drinking too much alcohol, eating unhealthy foods.
Although controlling the negative state does not completely reduce blood pressure in the long run. But having a plan to apply emotional management strategies (eg, having a reasonable diet, work, and rest) can help improve health, including blood pressure.
Some options to make when having a negative attitude:
Deep breathing to relax: Breathing deeply and slowly can help the body relax when in a negative state. Exercise: Physical activity can reduce stress and help reduce ongoing negative attitudes. However, when doing physical activity, you may need more advice from your doctor to choose the right exercise for your current health. Practicing yoga and meditation helps the body to relax better. This exercise technique can reduce systolic blood pressure by 5 mmHg or more. More sleep: Less sleep can make physical and mental problems seem worse. Change your perspective when it comes to problem-solving, while also giving up on complaining tendencies that drive the mood in a negative direction. Acknowledge the feelings of the situation to then focus better on solving the problem.
In summary, chronic stress leads to negative attitudes in work, life and blood pressure readings of the body. Therefore, a plan that applies emotional management strategies (eg, having a reasonable diet, work, and rest) can help improve health, including blood pressure.
