    With low blood pressure, shouldn't stress be beneficial?

    A guy I work with at clientco claims to suffer from low blood pressure, and I joked that perhaps he needs more stress, to raise it.

    But seriously, assuming the low blood pressure doesn't have some obvious cause such as a dodgy heart valve, might not some stress be a remedy of sorts?

    Maybe someone with low blood pressure should get into more arguments, or run up more bills than they can pay, or get a job driving ten hours a day in heavy traffic, or keep moving house, or all of those and more.

      It's a bit like saying that Brexit is a good treatment for a strong currency.

        Stress doesn't raise blood pressure, if it did I wouldn't have low blood pressure.
        His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

          Maybe it's intelligence that raises blood pressure

            Stop using long words.
            If I were to suffer high blood pressure I'd probably walk the dogs a bit more often...
