Stress
When you are stressed, the production of hormones cortisol and adrenaline or epinephrine increases in the body. High levels of cortisol in the body can lead to the formation of plaque in the arteries, making them clog. On the other hand, high levels of epinephrine can get your heart rate up. Narrow arteries and increased heart rate means your heart will work overtime to pump blood. As a result, your blood pressure levels can raise.
Certain Medications
Allergy and cold medications contain decongestants that might increase your heart rate, leading to high blood pressure. Decongestants can also make various blood pressure medications less effective. This can cause a spike in your blood pressure.
