Lying can indeed have an impact on your physiological response, your self-esteem including your heart rate and blood pressure.
This is what happens when you lie: First, there is often a sense of stress, anxiety, or guilt associated with it.
These emotional responses trigger your body's stress response, known as the fight-or-flight response.
During the fight-or-flight response, the body releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which cause an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. At this point, the body is preparing to respond to a perceived threat, even if it's just the act of lying. This physiological response is designed to provide us with the energy and readiness to deal with a potential danger.
The increase in heart rate and blood pressure is a natural reaction to the stress and anxiety that can accompany lying. However, it's important to note that the effect may vary depending on the individual and the specific circumstances involved.
Chronic or prolonged lying can have more significant impacts on your heart health because elevated blood pressure for extended periods can contribute to the development of hypertension, which is a risk factor for various cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease and stroke.
If you want to maintain optimal health, a healthy heart [and] high self-esteem, it is vital that you cultivate a lifestyle that includes honesty, open communication. In a nutshell, you must stop telling lies.
