Fortunately I don't have high blood pressure. I donated blood, and the question just popped to my head. :)

No.
Blood pressure is based upon how hard the heart pumps out blood. The first part I believe is how hard/fast the heart pumps blood out, I think I heard the second is the valves closing and taking in blood.
Might want to look that up.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

While a severe loss of blood will drop the pressure causing hypovolemia (low blood volume) donating a pint of blood will not help. Blood pressure is the amount of pressure exerted against the vessel wall when the heart contracts.

actually,donating blood is good for health.it doesn't mean that now,u start donating blood everytime or if u have no enough blood as well.
so,if u think u can donate ,then,donating with a gap of every 3to 4 months can be done after certain age18-20&if your body weights about 45-whatever,i don't know. but plz don't start doing it.
&i don't know about donating the blood even if we have high blood pressure...
plz ask to the heart speciallist or who knows about it...
or search on the internet....
take care...
byeeeeeeeeee

The pressure should not affect donating especially since it's high, but the medications your are on or past illnesses could prevent donating.

You will experience a temporary drop in blood pressure due to reducing your overall blood volume but as you suspected it's temporary. It's not considered therapeutic as it does not change the underlying condition causing ones HBP and is quite brief.

No, I don't think so. If you have high blood pressure you should see a doctor. It can damage your heart or cause a stroke.

well,they do health checks on your blood-and take your blood pressure-so it would alert you to any problems
