Can High BP Cause Fatigue?
Question: Does high blood pressure make you fatiged
Hi,
the answer is no. High blood pressure (even sky high blood pressure!) may be absolutely silent. Patients with aneurysms or severe heart disease may present with complications of a very high blood pressure (rupture of the aneurysm or acute heart failure). Another form of a serious event is accelerated hypertension which causes symptoms resembling of stroke.

132/83. I have episodes of feeling very week during the day
Brief Answer:
This is not high!
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
this is a normal blood pressure. If you're feeling abnormally then you've got to check a few things to make sure everything is OK. I would start with:
- checking for fever
- thyroid function
- electrolytes
- hematocrit
- quality of sleep
- alcohol or other substance abuse
- phycical activity
- psychological exhaustion
One of the aforementioned conditions usually justifies the symptoms.
If you'd like to upload any recent lab test reports it would be very helpful.
You may add any clinical details which seem relevant to you. Every detail may be helpful.
Kind Regards!
