A member asked:
Can blood pressure lowering medications have a paradoxical reaction and increase blood pressure instead of lowering it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That reaction has been reported with certain medication but it is not universal. Most commonly used antihypertensive medications (first tier) do not have that paradoxical effect.
