- TL;DR Summary
- I've read in books and on the internet that being frequently angry can increase blood pressure. My physician told me that any exercise that will increase my heart rate will decrease my blood pressure. When I am angry, I believe my heart rate increases. Why do some ways of increasing my heart rate increase my blood pressure and other ways of increasing my heart rate decrease my blood pressure?
I have high blood pressure. My physician told me that any exercise that increases my heart rate will decrease my blood pressure.
When I get angry, my heart rate increases.
If increasing one's heart rate by exercise will decrease my blood pressure, it seems logical for me to think that when my heart rate increases because I am angry, the increase in my heart rate due to my anger would lower my blood pressure. But I have read in books and on the internet that being frequently angry can increase one's blood pressure.
Since increasing one's heart rate by exercise lowers a person's blood pressure, why doesn't the increase in heart rate due to anger help lower a person's blood pressure?
