Can doing acupuncture unintentionally make your blood pressure go up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often -down: Acupuncture can be very helpful in reducing blood pressure. I suspect if someone was really nervous about getting acupuncture for the first time- that anxiety could drive up their blood pressure.
