هل يمكن أن يسبب القلق ارتفاع ضغط الدم؟

إجابة من دونالد هينسرود، (دكتور في الطب)

يُسمى ارتفاع ضغط الدم فرط ضغط الدم. ولا يسبب القلق الإصابةَ بارتفاع ضغط الدم طويل الأجل. لكن قد تؤدي نوبات القلق إلى ارتفاع مؤقت في ضغط الدم.

يمكن أن يؤدي الارتفاع المؤقت في ضغط الدم الذي يتكرر كثيرًا، مثل الذي يتكرر يوميًا، إلى تضرر الأوعية الدموية والقلب والكلى. وهذا نوعُ الضرر نفسه الذي يظهر لدى مرضى فرط ضغط الدم طويل الأجل.

إضافة إلى ذلك، يكون الأشخاص المصابون بالقلق أو التوتر أكثر عرضة لفعل أمور تسهم في رفع ضغط الدم، مثل:

  • التدخين.
  • تناوُل المشروبات الكحولية.
  • الإفراط في تناوُل الطعام.

يمكن أن تؤدي بعض الأدوية المستخدمة في علاج القلق وغيره من أمراض الصحة العقلية إلى ارتفاع ضغط الدم. ومن هذه الأدوية مثبطات إعادة امتصاص السيروتونين والنورإيبينيفرين (SNRI).

تحدَّث مع فريق الرعاية الصحية إذا كنت تواجه صعوبة في التحكم في القلق أو إذا كان يسبب صعوبة في ممارسة الأنشطة اليومية. فيمكن أن يساعدك اختصاصي الصحة العقلية على العثور على أفضل علاج لحالتك.
