Me and all my red haired friends and colleagues have high blood pressure despite 
our relative youth (mid 40's). I asked my GP if there was any established 
realtionship. His advice was that he thought there had been some research but he 
couldn't recall the result. I guess it also fits with the red hair hot temper 
myth.
