I'm sorry you're having extra pain, and that your pain has caused your blood pressure to rise. I sort of know what that's like as my normally low (90/60) blood pressure went to 140/90 in a matter of months. No idea why.

I hope the low-dose naltrexone works for you - I look forward to hearing more about it. It's something I haven't tried and I'm always interested in hearing how people do on it.

FYI my blood pressure has been easily controlled by a low dose of a virtually side-effect free med. I hope getting your pain under control takes yours back to normal, but it not, there are good meds to help.

Your blood pressure isnt high, so please dont stress over it.

Pain causes your blood pressure to rise.

Hope the med help you.

I have read about trigger point therapy maybe you can check it out.

I'm confused too. Your pressure is well within the normal range. I have hypertension and would love to have those numbers.

Sorry,brain fog.My blood pressure is usually low 90/60. Today was 150/105. Thats scary.I think its the pain

I am sure its the pain. Just relax.

Pain can cause an increase in Blood Pressure.

Here is an article about it.

Does Chronic Pain Raise Hypertension Risks?

There is a correlation between pain and higher blood pressure. I track my pressure at home. On bad days it is always higher. Just try to relax. You were probably anxious about your doctor's appointment and asking for naltrexone. Take care.

My blood pressure had a random spike a few weeks ago where it was high for 3 weeks, then just as fast went back to normal. No sure why, either,as my pain didn't increase then or go away when the bp went down. It was weird. Hope yours goes back to normal, too!

There is also something called the "white coat syndrome"

Here is some info about it:

White coat hypertension, more commonly known as white coat syndrome, is a phenomenon in which patients exhibit elevated blood pressure in a clinical setting but not in other settings.[1] It is believed that this is due to the anxiety some people experience during a clinic visit.[2]

I'm not sure the numbers she posted are her current blood pressure - looks like that was what it was before it spiked. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

Pain definitely can cause B/P to spike - as can the mere stress of going to the doctor. My B/P is sometimes up when I see the doctor even though it's fine at home. I had it taken in my dentist's office today (she's an old friend of many years) and it was totally normal although I'm sure seeing the dentist would spike some people's B/P.

Oh wow do I know that feeling! PrePTSD? low BP. Now? Ack! yet at home I am fine.

Pain and anxiety both cause BP to go up, so my one doc will not even take mine till end of appt, when I am at least less anxious. So maybe you can ask your doc to do that, see if it makes a diff?

I do a breathing technique my PTSD therapist taught me. It lowers heart rate and, allegedly, BP. I have yet to get min etaken when not panicking....as Daisy pointed out, White Coat Syndrome!

The technique is breathe in as you count four (as fast ormslow as you like...you slow down as you go anyway)... hold as you count four....exhale as you count four....hold four...repeat. Maybe it will help?

Which Blood Pressure monitor are you using ?
Some of them are not accurate.
Check some rated BP here : https://www.bloodpressure-monitoring.com/category/blood-pressure-monitor-reviews/

Mine has gone up and down.. Seems when your in movement it will spike.. or anxiety will kick in and make it go up.. I had to go to the Er for my back and when i got there it was quite high , but when I lay on the awlful beds they have it went down

I have really bad anxeity and I am on diazapam for it. Pain will def raise your blood pressure..

My hubby and walk around walmart and just bout 30 minutes pain starts and I can feel it go up..

Best thing do is try to lay down and turn on the tv or whatever you like and just lay still for a bit.. !!!....:)

I was on (LDN) low dose naltrexone for about 4 months and then decided to stop. It did nothing for me. If you do get a script for it, I ordered from Skips pharmacy in Florida. They have lot's of experience compounding this stuff and tons of knowledge along with very reasonable prices and of course they do mail orders. It's worth trying.

I have problem with high blood pressure too. My diastolic gets too high over 100 and my heart rate can get up to 140 and I wont be stressed at all just in alot of pain. I have to take a beta blocker but it's not working and I have tried so many they said they are running out of options. So in the past two years I have changed blood pressure meds 8 times. I find it hard to believe there is only 8 beta blockers for high blood pressure. Yes to your question my pain makes my bloodpressure go up all the time. But its my own fault because I'm one of those people that hates taking meds so I can have days I feel like im dying and I will not touch a pain med..
