[Cliff1213]

Iv been vaping for a year and a bit and iv recently began to notice a problem and they seem like all the thing associated whit high blood pressure I'm just wondering if any one has had these problems or if they have any answers of if its related to vaping I hope it not because I really don't plan on stopping anytime soon
Thanks

Smoking causes an elevation in blood pressure from nicotine and vaping could do that, also. Nic has a tendency toward constricting veins and elevating BP.

I'm more salt sensitive more than nic sensitive when it comes to BP. I can run 126 over 70 for days and get a salt hit from restaurant food and end up at 150 over 80 two hours after the meal. I hardly ever pick up a salt shaker. There's enough sodium in foods to give me what I need. My fasting blood samples show normal NaCl levels. Drinking water washes it away and I'm normal again. Something like 10% of the population are said to be salt sensitive in blood pressure and water retention.

Nic doesn't seem to do that in my case, but no nic might result in lower pressure if i were to actually quit vaping. The only way for you to really know would be to vape 0 nic for a week and monitor your BP.

See your doctor for a diagnosis. You might be one who needs to be on BP meds. I was.

Please see a Dr about your symptoms. I don't think you'll find any worth while info on this forum. High blood pressure is nothing to play with.

Thanks for the info Dave I made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow so ill get back and let you know if it was the nicotine

Its an simple test. Check your pressure then don't vape for 2 hrs and check it again if pressure is still high vaping is not the main cause. As EBates said it's the silent killer don't play around with high blood pressure.

If I may.... how do you know it's high?

And what was it?

Nicotine elevates blood pressure, but only temporarily.
I gave up salt and use oregano and red pepper powder for added flavoring...

During my recent surgury my PB was 110 / 80. I chain vape and go thru at least 10ml a day. So I don't seen the liquid I use having an affect on my BP. I've always had low to normal BP, even when I smoked.

when I smoked, my BP was 140/110 and that was while I was on my BP meds, now that I have been vaping for a bit better than a year, my BP is 110/75 ( on avg) and Im doing 36 nic juices..... and no BP meds...

Everybody is different when it comes to stuff like BP. I know people who eat sodium like they breath air and their BP is normal. I also know people who eat pretty healthy and still have higher than average BP. Like others said, only your doctor can tell you what affects YOUR body.

My blood pressure has been a little lower since Ive been vaping. I would consult a doctor, many people end up needing meds or dietary/exercise changes to influence blood pressure. I would guess based on what ive heard and also experienced vaping is better for BP than smoking though
