Could Blood In Sinus Glands Elevate Blood Pressure?
My mom is complaining about the pain in the one side of her face particularly in the forehead down to half side of the nose and cheeks and told about the itching of her gums also in the side of the face. we checked with Nose, Ears and Throat Specialist and found blood in the sinus glands. Her blood pressure is shooting up, could this be related?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No these are not related . I have seen many trauma cases with blood in sinuses without elevation of blood . Some times decongestant drugs as Phenylephrine are given for sinus problem and it may rise blood pressure . Just take proper medication for blood pressure.
