Why my bp is a bit high when i get flu?

Illness: Raises the adrenergic state and can affect blood pressure same as physical stress. Additionally, if you take o/c medications such as pseudophed the BP can be raised.

That's not usual: A fever may cause your BP to fall. The only reason i can think your BP might rise is that it might be caused by a medication you are using such as sudafed.
