I have always had low blood pressure- usually around 110/78, now it's up to 130/78. Could the flush have caused this? Can slight dehydration cause a temporary rise in BP?
That is odd. How long after the flush did you have it checked? How many times was it checked? It could be a coincidence. Blood pressure can change several times a day for a number of reasons. 110/ 78 really isn't all that low though. Especially not the 78 part. Check it again in a few days.
