Why and how long Covid may interfere with your blood pressure

In this video, we discuss how the body regulates blood pressure, and why illness, and specifically Long Covid, may interfere with this.

I have never had high blood pressure until after covid.

[@lowellriggsiam]

My blood pressure has always been normal, since I had Covid I developed hypertension, it's nice to get some validation.

I have hypertension. After getting my second Covid vaccine (Moderna), a few weeks later, I had an increase of my blood pressure to 190/100, I went to the ER. I wasn’t taking my meds at the time, but before getting my 2nd Covid my pressure was, 145/65, not really that bad. Anyway, I got meds and got my pressure down to 160/70, still higher than I ever had it. After 3 months I was down to 120/50’s with meds. So after the vaccine wore off my pressure was lower. I got the latest Covid booster (Pfizer). My pressure has been high again for over 6 months now, but with meds 145/60’s. Now past 8 months, my pressure is down to 110/50’s with meds. So this is telling me, Covid vaccines can definitely elevate a persons blood pressure. I need to get boosted again, since I’m 68 years old. So I know my blood pressure will go back up. I will tell my doctor all about this before had, and show him my blood pressure readings. I keep a daily record of that for the last 3 years. As for you with no history of hypertension, I do believe after 6-8 months after having Covid, your blood pressure should return to normal levels. Keep a daily record of your blood pressure readings, see how it goes. We are all different, so no guarantees. Keep a good diet and exercise, like walking, jogging or biking, that should help. 👍🏻

Doctors probably won't believe covid caused it. My blood pressure went up quite a bit after I had covid

So, digestive problems, shortness of breath not relieved by albuterol breathing treatments, extreme mid and high back pain/spasming and bp readings at crisis level 190/110 +...not just in my head...that's a very helpful and life changing explanation😝❤❤❤ THANK YOU!!! I have one or two good days, do too much trying to "catch up" because I feel ok and guilty and then I'm worthless the rest of the week...until I get better and catch whatever new virus floats my way and the cycle repeats! The psychology and validation seem to be very very important here, what a mess😝❤❤❤ Thank you for addressing it!!!

BEST explanation I have heard yet! Especially for the physical effects of an expectation of recovery! AND for high BP following covid and long covid .

[@ehinspections]

Thank you for sharing! I had blood pressure that was 110/80 and hurt my neck (2014) , and about 6 months after that I started to noticed my blood pressure climbing to 135/80; I thought I was getting older, but after two Covid infections is going down to 124/70. I believe that I have long Covid since it has been 2 months and I still feel like I am sick and my muscles feel weak all the time. I am focusing on getting all the nutrients that my body needs and hoping it gets better soon. Great video, very informative and it explains things that the Doctors do not understand.

this video was a wealth of information...thank you...my wife had covid for about a month in which she was in bed for at least 2 weeks or more...she could hardly talk...well she got over it then started having dizzy spells and almost fainting...she thought it was her inner ear and maybe an infection...last night she woke me up and told me to get her to the hospital...they examined her and found out her blood pressure was 270 over ? maybe 110 i dont remember but after several hours and medication they got it down to 122 over 71...and i had wondered if covid had anything to do with it because she never had those symptons before...

[@mirthevisser7333]

Thanks for your story! Hope everything is well. How is everything now and do you know what medication she was given?

[@timsworld9875]

@@mirthevisser7333 hi...thanks for asking...they have her on blood pressure medicine now...she is doing somewhat better but covid really messed her up...she is blessed to be alive and doing as well as she is...God bless you...

I hv hypertension for 1year after i got covid. Im 22yo. And i hv usually 140~150, 60 or 70. The problem is i hv so high blood pressure and so much difference in which time i measure it. I wanna belive that time will solve this. I dont wanna eat hypertension pills since im still young. Do u think time will solve my hypertension??

[@simoneking3401]

I am having the same issues! 😔

[@dharmadharma3960]

Me too. It's been 2 years. Keep searching. We'll find it! Cayenne pepper is supposed to be great at lowering it FYI. But I'm also thinking the jab detox will work for infection too.

[@judycrisenbery2982]

How do you detox?
