A member asked:

I consume whey protien after my workout . 1)does it cause baldness because my hair density has reduced. 2) does increases blood pressure & cholestrol.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No : No to all your questions. Remember that it is normal for BP to rise with exercise and this is healthy and should not be used to determine if BP is well controlled. BP should be measured after 15 minutes of complete rest.
