Managing stress matters because ongoing stress triggers the release of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones temporarily raise heart rate and constrict blood vessels, increasing blood pressure. When stress is chronic, this repeated response can contribute to consistently higher blood pressure and added strain on the heart and blood vessels over time.

Stress can also indirectly affect blood pressure by disrupting sleep, increasing inflammation, and leading to habits like poor eating, physical inactivity, or excess alcohol—all of which influence heart health.
