How is hypertension linked to pneumonia?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It is not: Hypertension is not linked to pneumonia. Pneumonia does not cause hypertenison. If anything, patients seriously ill with pneumonia can actually have a low blood pressure and this can be a sign of the severity of pneumonia.

Its not : There is no direct link between hypertension ( high blood pressure )and pneumonia, sometimes with a severe pneumonia the blood pressure can be too low ( hypotension) this observed in "sepsis" when there is generalized inflammation, dilation of the blood vessels and/or dehydration from poor fluid intake, fever etc.
