Can Paint Fumes Elevate My Blood Pressure?
I've was painting my golf cart on Friday in a closed off area with a fan running for about an hour felt poorly the rest of the day. I went at it again today and the same results. I suffer from high blood pressure and it read 200. Can paint fumes elevate my blood pressure? I'm 64 yrs old and about 200 lbs.
I'm 5'9" and have a history of high blood pressure and I take medication for it.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Paint fume can't lead such high blood pressure
Systolic BP 200 is suggestive towards urgency
There are Chances of multiple organ affection
So if needed immediate control can be achieved by intravenous infusion of sodium nitroprusside
You need to take than after two antihypertensive medication for blood pressure control if needed
Take low salt diet
Regular exercise needed
Your waist circumference measurement, blood sugar checking and lipid estimation done to rule out metabolic syndrome
Take care
