Does anyone know if there is a correlation between thoughts of cbt, investigating methods, and considering a plan would cause hypertension (high blood pressure)?

One factor is that causes high blood pressure is stress, but I assume doctors mean stress from the daily slings and arrows. If anything, the thought of calling it quits would temporarily alleviate stress.

Dunno, But I thought I'd toss out this question to the forum.

From Mayo Clinic:

Anxiety doesn't cause long-term high blood pressure (hypertension). But episodes of anxiety can cause dramatic, temporary spikes in your blood pressure. If those temporary spikes occur frequently, such as every day, they can cause damage to your blood vessels, heart and kidneys, as can chronic high blood pressure.

Sorry. I assumed your thoughts of suicide would trigger anxiety. My mistake.
