Known hypertensive and people with a family history of hypertension were excluded. BP was recorded using a sphygmomanometer, and the WHO 5 well-being index was calculated.

Results: It was observed that there was a negative correlation though statistically not significant (P > 0.05) between BP and WHO 5 well-being index.

Conclusion: As the level of stress increases, an increase in BP was noted with a subsequent decline in the well-being of the individual.
