If high blood pressure is causes by stress do you not need meds to lower it?

I think that if stress is the trigger avoiding it (if feasible) will help but experience says that there are more factors causing it rather than just one

There can be multiple factors causing high blood pressure and stress can be one of them. Lowering stress and maintaining healthy lifestyle can absolutely help improve your situation before getting medication. But sometimes stress is inevitable in life so best to consult with your doctor to find the best way.

It would still be best if you talked with your doctor about it. High blood pressure has a lot of factors involved in it. Reducing your stress levels will definitely help but is it the only condition that is causing you blood pressure to rise?

There are medications that will help with high blood pressure but doing yoga classes can help lower it naturally or you can speak to your doctor about medication.
