My mom has recently been told she has high potassium and high blood pressure. She never had either before. She is also on Synthroid and Provachol. This does not seem to make sense to me because potassium is supposed to lower blood pressure. The both occurred at the same time. (The high potassium and high blood pressure).

baby #2 on board! 5-29-10<3 asked:


I am curious if anyone knows what kinds of things can cause high blood pressure, even temporary. I’ve heard of sleep deprivation causing it, but it doesnt seem like not getting enough sleep could cause you to have a real blood pressure problem. Could caffeine or soda consumption affect your blood pressure?
