I was at the orthopedic surgeon today and my blood pressure was 172/112 and 160 /94 after about 15 minutes trying to relax. It was 160/92 last week when I was there. Can pain cause it to be high? I have a torn rotator cuff and am trying to avoid surgery. I am also a t-6 para.
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Pain can cause rise in BP. Apart from this visit the doctors' clinic can also cause rise in BP. You can try monitoring your BP at home and see if there is any difference. Even at home if our stays high then you might have to be put on anti BP treatment. However, your can start reducing the salt intake take fresh seasonal fruits. Stay in touch will your doctor as well. Hope this helped. Do let us know.
