I know i have already posed this question, but I wanted to see what others think about the coorelation with lyme and high blood pressure? I have recently seen a rhumetoligist and an infectious disease doc. who is lyme litterate, and they both feel lyme would not cause my blood pressure to be high. For this reason the doc is still trying to find other posibilities of what is causing all my symptoms , despite a pos on igenex WB IGG and IGM.

Get away from the doctors. That was one of the first symptoms after my tick bite. I went from 120/70 to 220/110. Now my kidneys are damaged. Of course it is lyme and probably coinfections.
I went to 16 differnt docs stating MS, Lupus etc. It was lyme. Thanks to Bowen lab that saved my life.

BL,
My husband has high blood pressure. I think it is from Lyme.
Dr. I didn't give you antibiotics?

My blood presure has always been 119 or so voer somthing good. 42 years of good BP - I have interminiate high BP for me of 180 over somthing bad on and off for the last year. It goe to noraml when the sysmtoms of the lyme back off. I have co-infections. I think they are doing most of it.

Same here. BP goes up and down all the time. I probably have co-infections too. Been this way most of my life. Or at least since age 10. I sometimes get lightheaded or woozy, have lots of vertigo. Fainting spells too.
Stay away from the ducks!
Magnesium helps.

I've been curious as to whether "thick blood" could cause high blood pressure. I've never had the coagulation panel done but I'm going to ask my LLMD for that at my next appointment on Thursday. My BP is slightly high, but never too high, and I do suspect that I have hypercoagulation. I also have a form of dysautonomia that makes my BP drop really LOW so it's weird that my BP is normal to high the rest of the time.
