A member asked:

Hello docs. i was wondering can valium lower blood pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Since stress can raise blood pressure, a tranquilizer like valium (diazepam) can lower subjective stress and thereby lower blood pressure. Higher doses of valium can also lower blood pressure as a direct pharmaceutical effect.
