Hypoglycemia and Blood Pressure:
- Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, does not directly cause high blood pressure.
- The body's response to low blood sugar can lead to temporary changes in blood pressure.
-
Body's Response:
- Stress hormones like adrenaline are released when blood sugar drops.
- This can cause a rapid heartbeat and sweating, potentially leading to a temporary increase in blood pressure.
-
Chronic Hypertension:
- Typically caused by factors such as diet, lifestyle, genetics, or other medical conditions.
-
Recommendation:
- Discuss any symptoms or concerns with your healthcare provider for tailored advice.
