High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a sneaky disease that can have a devastating effect on your mind and body, causing health problems closely related to the heart, cardiovascular system, as well as other organs such as the liver and kidneys. It is ranked as one of the main causes of death worldwide – and is no respecter of age.

There are several causes of hypertension, but very few symptoms. Research has suggested that medical issues aside, anxiety and stress are major contributors to blood pressure problems.

It could be normal bodily aches or pains, which causes you to misinterpret them and throw you into a panic situation that it might be something very serious. Unlike general anxiety disorders, a phobia is usually connected to something specific, like your health for example. It could take the form of a dread of cancer, or perhaps a brain tumor in your imagination.
