I have a ventricular shunt due to hydrocephalus I am having problems for the past several months with my blood pressure being too high my family Dr is sending me for several blood tests to rule out other things but I m concerned this may be caused by my shunt
Hi, I understand your concern. The increased blood pressure (BP) you are facing for the last months after placing VP shunt could be due to:- shunt itself-thyroid issues-stress/anxiety-other cardiac issues, you need to run further tests to determine the right cause. Meanwhile, keep monitoring your BP, record the results for future reference. All the best.
