A member asked:
Can a spike in blood pressure cause shortness of breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, and vice versa: A spike in blood pressure can cause strain on the heart, and if there is existing vascular disease or a problem with the structure or function of the cardiac valves or muscles, this can lead to shortness of breath. On the other hand, anxiety often provokes the sensation of being short of breath, and can simultaneously induce a spike in blood pressure via adrenaline release. Best to see/talk2 a doc
