I developed high blood pressure after my diagnosis with COPD... 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.

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.
