Is BP Rise Related To Intake Of Packed Chicken?
When ever my husband is taking chicken from the next day he is having high BP for 2 days . This we have observed for more than 6 times. We usually get packed chicken and cook it home .Is there any relation with packed chicken and high BP ? In my husbands family high BP patients are there.

Hello...
The only association i can think of between the packed chicken and rising blood pressure is the salt content of the chicken
Most packaged and ready to eat meals have a high degree of preservatives, salt being one of them.
A high salt intake directly correlates with hypertension.
Is your husbands blood pressure normal at other times and is he currently on any medications for the same? Because if it is always on the higher side then ideally he needs to be evaluated and may need a change in his medication for the same.
Hope this helps.
Regards
