A member asked:

I have high bp but controlled by medicine so it's always normal. i noticed that my bp goes high during pms, ovulation & anxiety. why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormones: Your body produces hormones in response to physiologic and emotional changes, and these hormones regulate functions throughout your body including blood pressure. Practicing relaxation techniques can help you cope and keep your BP moderated.
