What Causes Elevated BP After Food Poisoning?

I had what i think is Food poisoning. Woke up at 12 midnight to violent nausea and acid stomach. The symptoms of gurgling stomach continued throughout the day while at work today. I took my blood pressure and it was 190/ 110. It went up and down for a while. I used the bathroom because of diareha and after that my blood pressure went down a lot. I feel better too.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that high blood pressure could be related to the vomiting, which imposes a high stress to the body. So, there is nothing to worry about. While the drop in blood pressure could be explained with dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea. I agree with you on the fact that it seems to be just a food poisoning.

Hope I have answered your query.
