Would Keeping Ice On Knees Decease The BP Level?

started using ice on knees twice a day and noticed blood pressure lower although I reduced my blood pressure medicine in half it is so low that my home machine could not detect reading. found a wrist one and got 89/60 when I don't remember being so low. Could ice be the reason?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No ice pack application on knees, can not cause blood pressure reduction.
So no connection between ice application and low blood pressure.
In my opinion, your blood pressure is very strictly controlled with drugs.
So you should consult your doctor and discuss about lowering the dose or medicines to achieve normal blood pressure.
Don't think ice application is the cause.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
