A member asked:
Can spicy food cause high blood pressure?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No, watch the salt: Many types of cuisine that are spicy are also very high in sodium. For most people, an occasional meal at an ethnic restaurant is not an issue. However, a diet that is consistently high in sodium may be a contributing factor to high blood pressure.
