Does cold weather affect high blood pressure?

Answer 1

Yes it can. Cold weather makes the blood vessels constrict, and when vessels constrict, pressure goes up. So if a person already has high blood pressure, this extra constriction could trigger a higher blood pressure.

If you have high blood pressure, it needs to be treated and controlled. With proper management, blood pressure can be maintained at safe levels even in colder weather.

Answer 2

It os possible;the human body operates best within a fairly narrow temperature range and abnormal heat or cold can impose severe stress.Cardio-vascular disease is more likely to affect people suffering from severe stress because of extreme cold or heat.Comparison of daily summer mortality rates with maximum temperatures suggest that the death occurs only in hottest summers.
Similarly,severe cold weather condition can make the blood vessels shrink and increase the the blood pressure.Many deaths (mainly old people)reported during cold and hot weather conditions are due to the increase in blood pressure.
