Sudden Rise In BP With Disorientation. What Could Be The Cause?
last night i was at the theater watching a movie with my girlfriend after the movie we went and grabed in & out it was around 1:00 AM then went home and sat a little then went to bed and was about to make love after in to it for about 20min i felt a lil drunk when i checked my blood pressure it was around 167 over 110 not sure exatly what the cause was.
Those symptoms could have been cause by the increase in the blood pressure particularly the bottom number; this is an expected response to exercise, including sex, but may be exacerbated by other factors such as caffeine and stimulants, alcohol, sleep deprivation, etc.
Yours truly,
