Describes his symptoms and concludes much of high blood pressure stems from stress.

 



It feels like your blood is boiling, when you're at work and you get agitated, that's the only way I can describe it: your blood boils. You just go and lie down. Only now and again I may get a migraine and then I just go to bed and sleep it off. And that may be just due to pressure of the day. More often that not if I have another migraine it would be coming home from work - I do a couple of hundred miles driving a day - like I said it's all tension and stress and everything. I really believe that's what high blood pressure is; because people are under pressure, lots of pressure.
