Does Spinal Stenosis Cause Spike In Blood Pressure?

Spinal stenosis indirectly causing BP spikes...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
1. Your goal for blood pressure (bp) is lower than 140/90; Your average bp is 135/92, so it falls within normal range
2. It will take longer than 5 days to get results from Losartan use (up to a couple of months). I advise to measure your bp, record the results and send them to your doctor for further analysis (or you can send to me).
3. If after 1 month, there is no change in bp, then, should increase Losartan dosage or switch to another medication.
4. Diuretics are advised to start. Discuss this further with your doctor.
5. There are many factors causing increased bp including foods/drinks you consume until the medical conditions you might have (e.g spinal stenosis).
You are reporting that this condition is causing you to be slightly irritable. This irritability is recognized as stress situation by your body. In return, your body reacts through stress hormones that would increase bp.
Try to discuss your spinal stenosis with an orthopedist and to get some pain relief.
Hope it helped!

Not only,other factors to be considered...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
No, your BP is not only due to your age, but due to the fact that you are taking anti-hypertensive drug (ramipril) (you're under medication).
