A member asked:
What effect does fasting have on blood pressure specifically (age 15-20)? and does heart disease affect blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fasting: Fasting makes your body go into a stress response mode. Blood pressure might go up slightly. Remember that BP=SVxTPR Blood Pressure=Stroke Volume x Total Peripheral Resistance TPR=SV xHR Total Peripheral Resistance=Stroke volume x Heart Rate The physiology behind Blood Pressure tries to maintain harmony even while fasting at all ages. Heart disease is a general term-it does effect the equation.
