Can bouts of high blood pressure be dangerous for your heart?

Gabe asked:


As with yesterday, whenever i get worried or anxious or stressed, my blood pressure gets extremely high and i start having chest pains. like yesterday, it went up to 170 over 115 then after i was taken to the e.r. and calmed down my blood pressure was 130 or 75. Can having these bouts of high blood pressure be dangerous? Other than that, tests have ruled out heart problems.
Im diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder, psychosis, and anxiety disorders.

    High blood pressure can indeed be bad for your heart and your kidneys and your eyes and your brain and just about everything else. Your doctor may elect to treat your condition with medication or he may elect for a lifestyle change. In any event it is important that you follow your doctor’s orders, your future is at stake here.

    Yes of course it can, but being worried about it will only make it worse so be proactive. Do something about lowering it by meditating or exercising to reduce your anxiety levels.
