yes i believe so. that anxiety can cause or lead to high blood pressure. so it is important. to control our emotions and to avoid any thing that can cause anxiety in us.

Anxiety can definitely cause changes in blood pressure. Normally, anxiety (or stress) raises blood pressure for a certain period of time and returns to normal when the anxiety (or stress) is alleviated. However, hypertension, or high blood pressure, can occur if high anxiety or stress is persistent enough. It is certainly something people who experience anxiety and/or stress should be concerned about, though things like medication, meditation or yoga, herbs, etc. can help lower blood pressure.
