A member asked:
Can high blood pressure sometimes cause flushing or reddening of the face?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sometimes: Sometimes sudden increases in blood pressure can make the face red, but flushing is often associated with the body's own temperature regulation, or can also be drug-relaed (i.e. Niacin can do it as can others).
