Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that this supplement has no effects on blood pressure.

So, high blood pressure is not related to Bergamot adverse effects.

I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests to investigate for other possible causes of high blood pressure:

- complete blood count for anemia
-thyroid hormone levels
- blood electrolytes
- kidney and liver function tests
- fasting glucose.

I would also recommend reduce salt and caffeine intake in your diet.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr.Iliri
