A nurse practitioner stated it was not uncommon for the ER to get busy after big games. High blood pressure and injuries, such as broken bones, bruises or bloody falls, usually fill the waiting room during a busy season.

Is rooting for your team bad for your health? A 2017 study published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology suggests that the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat can have a substantial effect on the cardiovascular system.

So I pointed this out to my husband who gets emotionally invested during games. His comment - my blood pressure doesn't get up. Saying this shortly before he is swearing at the TV, saying players and moves are stupid and yelling.

I find it hard to believe if you are yelling and swearing that your blood pressure is low.
