why does my blood pressure go up when Im out in the sun , or use a heating pad on my neck?

Answer 1

heat makes your blood move faster there for rising your heart beat there for rising your blood pressure

Answer 2

I haven't had an experience like you describe,I've been on B/P meds for 9 1/2 years. Basically well controlled. There have been occasions when I just didn't feel right, would monitor my b/p and find it high. Usually I would take .5mg of lorazepam and kick back in the lounger, it would come down shortly. My doc has changed my meds about4 times since I began, each time it would settle into a usual 120/70 or close. This last time, I didn't respond quickly and was feeling arrhythmia's, was referred to a cardiologist. I wore a Holter monitor and had some scan, can't remember now what it was called. the cardiologist found nothing alarming. After all that, the arrhythmia's and spikes all seemed to settle down. maybe reassurance had something to do with it. I told my doctors I am not a neurotic, but believe in being proactive. Don't want to find serious problems only after a cardiac event. Be sure you document your time line and remember everything about your experience. I believe you will b e fine, but reassurance is a wonderful thing.

You obviously are sensitive to heat and that is why you experience a rise in your blood pressure so easily. Be sure you eat a healthy diet with very little salt, fried foods, caffeine and fat. These cause the blood pressure to rise.

You should probably have a general examination by your medical doctor to see if anything has changed in your health.
