A Clemson University researcher, James A. McCubbin and colleagues has found that high blood pressure dampens your ability to read emotional content in faces. In our writing and texts it is easy to tell if someone is joking by the smiley face they put behind their sentence when in person it would be easily mistaken.
He calls this emotional dampening. A friend or coworker may make a comment that is meant to be a joke, when unable to read facial expressions it may be mistaken and can lead to anger. This can also lead to distrust and risk taking by not proberly being able to read threats in the environment as well as robing a persons ability to feel enjoyment and personal connections with others.
McCubbin said the link between dampening of emotions and blood pressure is believed to be involved in the development of hypertension and risk for coronary heart disease, the biggest killer of both men and women in the U.S. Emotional dampening also may be involved in disorders of emotion regulation, such as bipolar disorders and depression.
I take a small amount of Pindolol which is a blood pressure medication. I take it for my anxiety and it helps even out my adrenaline.
