Can omega 3 cause high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it: I have never heard of omega 3s causing high blood pressure. Fish oil seems to produce modest reductions in blood pressure in people with high bp. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil seem to be able to expand blood vessels, and this brings blood pressure down. If you have elevated bp, talk to your health care provider to explore other contributing factors. I don't think it is omega 3s.
