A member asked:
Is it normal for blood pressure to elevate after eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood Pressure: Because your heart puts out what your organs need at any given time, it sends more blood to your GI system when you eat and drink. Your arteries accomplish this by raising the pressure to increase the rate of blood flow. Your elevated blood pressure returns to normal when the digestive process is complete. This variation is nore noticeable in hypertensive subjects than normal subjects.
