Hi everyone,
my blood pressure is also high and the doctor said that this is a likely stemming back to my emphysema because it is causing my heart to work harder, increasing the high blood pressure.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Did blood pressure medication help? I would like to get this under control! My doctor was not too helpful.
Thank you.

I was never told there was a relationship between the two. But I do have both and treat both.
How high is your blood pressure? It seems odd your doctor would have dismissed your concerns.
