An unexpected bill, tight deadline at work, the crazy driver that cut you off on the highway—there’s no shortage of stressors out there! At NY Foot Health, we want to recognize Stress Awareness Month with some information about stress and your podiatric health. Stress can act as a trigger for certain conditions that affect your feet such as Raynaud’s and psoriasis. Prolonged stress also elevates your risk significantly for high blood pressure or, as it’s also known, hypertension.
