title: Stress management & hypertension.
abstract: Review of literature suggests that emotional and social stress is a contributory factor to the development of hypertension. If so, relaxation and stress management therapy may reduce high blood pressure (BP) and its complications. In a series of studies I and my colleagues have shown that this may be so. These studies have been published elsewhere and are briefly summarized here.
