My blood pressure went up to 169/110 the last couple days. I just been told I have bronchitis and sinusitis could this be doing it. The er dr did nothing. Talked to my dr on phone and he said to change my diet and try to relax. I work in oil field so is stressful.
Hi there. I understand your concern. They do not cause Hypertension directly, but they cause stress in your body that will shoot up your stress hormones which lead to your increase in blood pressure. I suggest my patients, not to worry about the increased blood pressure now and treat the sinusitis and bronchitis with proper medicines and advise good nutrition and HY Chat Doctor.  But to follow up after the disease is cured to confirm normalization of blood pressure. Hope I answer the question.I will be happy to answer any further queries.
