A member asked:
Would there be a secondary reason for sudden onset hypertension? blood tests perfect, cholesterol 103 but glucose elevated at 128.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: A glucose level of 128 may indicate diabetes mellitus if it is a fasting glucose. Diabetics have a 75% risk of having high blood pressure. Sudden onset of elevated blood pressure can occur for a number of different reasons, including high physical or psychological stress, low oxygen level, respiratory distress or failure, acute heart failure, or blockage of coronary or cerebral artery.
