May or may not: Fludrocortisone is mineralocortcoid helps body to retain sodium. It depends why one is taking this drud, if one has salt retaining hormone deficiency like addison disease and is taking right dose then no side effects. Excess of it can cause high blood pressure bu not increas intracranial pressure. This drug is also used for orthodtatic low blood pressure. In summary it can cause high blood press.
