Does Sotalol Cause High Blood Pressure?
Started taking Sotalol a month ago without any side effects; but the last three nights his blood pressure reading has been high reading for top figure (systolic) 195 with. Lower reading 65 (diastolic)) and pile reading 62. Is this possibly a side effect of Sotalol? YYYY@YYYY

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Sotalol would cause a decrease not increase in blood pressure so it is not likely the cause of his increased readings
If the blood pressure continues to be persistently high, then he would need to be assessed by his doctor to see if the medication regimen needs adjusting or if there is another cause of the increase eg infection,
I hope this helps
