BP and Sickness

Hey,

 Quick question-- doesn't being sick sometimes make your BP go up??  I just took mine (sitting down) and it was 161/83 which has me a little freaked but I do have an intense chest cold.

 Of course, like a dorkus I took it 30 minutes after the doctor's office closed.  My mom is an ICU nurse and just waiting for her to call me back but.....

Any idea?

 TIA!

Re: BP and Sickness

  • Have you taken anything for the cold? some cold meds will make your BP go up.
  • Yep, took Tylenol cold!  My mom said that the phenylephrine is what did it!  YAY!!

     

    So, it looks like Vitamin C and plain Tylenol for me.
