A member asked:

I'm taking verapamil for headaches. can it cause high bp? i know it's supposed to treat high bp...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It doesn't cause high blood pressure. Be sure you're measuring the BP when you are at basal conditions: relaxed, not in pain (not having a headache), relaxed, resting for 10 minutes. Be sure your BP measurement device is accurate (check it against a standard).
