The doctor explained that a high blood pressure reading on a blood pressure monitor does not necessarily indicate an actual increase in blood pressure , as these numbers may mask other diseases that also cause it to rise.
Rodchenko said: "Any severe pain always causes high blood pressure. If someone falls and breaks their arm, when their blood pressure is measured in the other arm, it will certainly be high, and as soon as the pain goes away, the blood pressure will automatically decrease."
He pointed out that diseases of the joints, muscles and digestive system may also cause high blood pressure, and psychological and neurological disorders , such as depression, anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder, can also be the cause .
He added that the matter may be more complicated when high blood pressure coincides with another medical condition that causes a sudden rise , and in these cases, treating high blood pressure alone is not sufficient, and blood pressure readings may remain high despite treatment.
