In this special World Hypertension Day episode, we explore the often-overlooked overlap between asthma, high blood pressure, and mental health.
If you live with asthma, you already know how much it can affect your daily life. But when combined with hypertension and chronic stress, things can quickly get more complicated and more exhausting.
