A member asked:

Long time raised blood pressure. always stable till now. did weight gain worsen it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it can: Weight gain can absolutely increaase your blood pressure. I recommend regular exercise (which can decrease your blood pressure even when you dont loose weight), and a healthy diet. Also sodium (salt) can increase your blood pressure , so i recommend taing in < 1500mg a day if you have high blood pressure.
