A member asked:
Can a bipolar person have high blood pressure when going through a manic phase?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Researchers (D'Mello at MSU) discovered nearly half of patients hospitalized with bipolar disorder may suffer from hypertension, and the younger a person is diagnosed with the psychiatric condition the more likely they are to develop high blood pressure. The blood pressure issue is likely a complication of a life of Bipolar Disorder coupled with other contributing factors. Best regards.
