Hi

Please can u guys give me some tips and advice on how to deal with stress as sometimes I stress too much about stuff and for the first time ever today I had really high blood pressure and felt faint because of it. Also, I am an over thinker which doesn’t really help and I don’t ever want my bp to go that high EVER AGAIN cos of my medical record it could be fatal

Speak to your GP - therapy in conjunction with managing your physical health condition with appropriate medication (if applicable) is important.

Journal, meditate, make art, music, exercise (moderately), etc.

Which kind of stress?
mindfulness helps alot
just spend a few minutes where you forget about everything and relax whenever you feel stressed
What’s your diet like? Exercise, yoga and meditation can help. Have you spoken to your GP?

My diet is healthy and I workout every day, no I haven’t spoke to my GP as this was the first time I was so stressed that my bp was v high.

How did you measure your BP? Do you have an existing condition?

We own a bp monitor thing at home. Yeah I have medical condition but not related to stress like I don’t have a mental health condition
How much iron do you eat? I'm often anaemic and my symptoms are light headedness, tiredness, and more stressed than normal.

Hi I find that podcasts work well if you find the right one that maybe relates to you and also getting urself busy if during the day, a good breathing exercise is smell the flowers blow out the candles x
