We bought a package for $30,000. It included a small pool, 300 sq ft of pavers, a screened enclosure enough to cover the pool. We then learned the water temperature would not be warm enough, so we added a heater, and salt system.
Constriction of blood vessels and increase in heart rate does raise blood pressure, but only temporarily â when the stress reaction goes away, blood pressure returns to its pre-stress level. This is called situational stress, and its effects are generally short-lived and disappear when the stressful event is over.
The National Institutes of Health notes that stress raises blood pressure by causing a release of hormones that cause constriction of the blood vessels. Physical pain, too, is a stressor that can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure.
