A high systolic blood pressure indicates patient’s arteries are experiencing stress. A high diastolic pressure indicates there are stressors that cause cortisol to increase resulting in faster heart rates. Doctors’ treatment plan for patients with HBP include work life balance, medication, diet, and exercise. Preventive care starts with a healthy life inclusive of work life balance. The treatment plan for patients who have HBP resulting from life stress should include psychiatric care. The treatment plan for HBP requires a holistic lifelong healthy lifestyle. Work life balance, mind, body, and soul can improve a patient’s BP.
