When you are under sustained levels of stress (like getting stuck
in traffic jams twice a day), you wind up increasing not only your blood pressure, but you
also cause adrenaline to be secreted.
This can lead to increases in heart disease. The high blood pressure increase the heart's work-load which weakens it over time. It also can wind up increasing the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure and congestive heart failure. Depression can also increase risks to the heart.
What do you want your blood level to be? Optimum levels would be 120 over 80. You definitely want to keep it under 140 over 90.
