What Causes High Blood Pressure While Suffering From Sinus Infection?
32 year old male 5ft 11 inch about 200lb headaches in the last week or two. Begain to check blood pressure in the past couple of days at random times. It ranges from 138/82 to 160/101, mostly 150 s over low 90 s. The last 2 or 3 times it has been high when I have gone for a dental appointment. They said it was probably anxiety. Do you think sinus infection could make it high and explain headaches?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if it is hypertension then it may increase with anxiety but infection may not cause for high blood pressure but it may reduce it on the contrary if you are on antihypertensive medicine then it is nothing to worry, hope this information helps.
