Anika Johnson, a 58-year-old high school...
Anika Johnson, a 58-year-old high school principal, had always managed stress well until her district implemented major budget cuts. Her blood pressure readings became wildly unpredictable, spiking to 180/110 during board meetings and dropping to normal levels at home. She experienced pounding headaches, anxiety, and dizziness. Her internist, Dr. Chen, diagnosed labile hypertension, explaining it was a stress-triggered, exaggerated cardiovascular response. He recommended 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) to capture the fluctuations and rule out white-coat syndrome. Anika wore the portable monitor for a full day, finding it cumbersome but revealing. The data showed severe spikes correlating with her work stress. Post-procedure, Dr. Chen prescribed a low-dose beta-blocker and referred her to a stress management program. Anika felt validated by the concrete data; it wasn't 'all in her head.' She learned mindfulness techniques and delegated more tasks. Six months later, her BP was stable, and she felt emotionally relieved and back in control of her health.
