Can Sinusitis Elevate Blood Pressure?

4days ago, I awakened, unable to walk normally. I felt like a drunken sailor on a rocky ship. I went to an urgent care facility; my admission BP was 175/105. Subsequent BPs were similar. I was given an oral med for the BP which lowered it to 110/75. A CAT scan showed sinusitis. An EKG was normal as was a blood sugar. The conclusion was Labyrinthitis/Vestibulitis. I was sent home on Amoxicillon, Antivert and BPmonitoring. I am feeling better. I had had a gunky cold and cough 3 weeks ago but was symptom free at the time of this episode. I feel that the sinuses are clearing but my BP is still high. (154/98 even with my BP medication, Ramipril 10 mg daily, My BP has never been over 145/90 but has been creeping up so was put on BP medication. The higher BP is worrisome. Have you seen increased BPs with a sinusitis?
