A member asked:
Help please! could being sick raise your blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: Perhaps the stress of being ill could raise ones blood pressure somewhat. However, if one is eating salty food while ill, it might cause ones blood pressure to rise significantly. Of course, most important would be to see ones physician if an illness persists.
