A member asked:

Could blood pressure rise in winters?

Perhaps: If like many people you are eating more processed and thus high sodium foods in winter this might be possible. Also we tend to be more sedentary during winter months and may gain some weight leading to a rise in BP.

Has been described : This should not be a significant consideration in blood pressure treatment. It has been described as one is cold and the peripheral blood vessels do constrict to keep the person warmer. The blood pressure will go up but so will with caffeine. See your doc and follow directions
