  1. Hypoglycemia and Blood Pressure:

    • Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, does not directly cause high blood pressure.
    • The body's response to low blood sugar can lead to temporary changes in blood pressure.
  2. Body's Response:

    • Stress hormones like adrenaline are released when blood sugar drops.
    • This can cause a rapid heartbeat and sweating, potentially leading to a temporary increase in blood pressure.
  3. Chronic Hypertension:

    • Typically caused by factors such as diet, lifestyle, genetics, or other medical conditions.
  4. Recommendation:

    • Discuss any symptoms or concerns with your healthcare provider for tailored advice.
