Managing Stress for a Healthier Heart

Occasional stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes constant, it can contribute to raised blood pressure, poor sleep, and unhealthy coping habits — all of which affect heart health over time.

Simple practices like regular physical activity, consistent sleep, deep breathing, and staying connected with family and friends can help you manage stress day to day. If stress feels unmanageable, it's worth discussing with your doctor rather than dealing with it alone.
