I don't know about that. I'm a chronic worrier (if I don't actually
have one to natter over I'll seek one out) and my blood pressure has
been 120/70 +- 10 ever since I knew what blood pressure was. I once
stopped in the middle of a serious argument and took my blood pressure,
and it was no higher than usual. Perhaps some of us actually DO thrive
on stress. Still, don't push us TOO far...
