It is well established that work stress can lead to ill health, including heart attacks and depression, but studies looking at the effect of work stress on blood pressure have had mixed results.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a major risk factor for a number of serious medical illnesses, including stroke and heart attacks.

Job strain, particularly in workers with low social support at work, may contribute to increased blood pressure.  If a person has hypertension, reducing blood pressure by 5mmHg can reduce their risk of having a heart attack by about 20%.

And one way to reduce blood pressure is to relax!  That’s where we come in!
