What Causes Elevated BP While Suffering From Herpes?
I have never had high BP. Recently I got Herpes in my left arm starting with acute pain in the left shoulder plus the rise in BP- 177/110. Doctor prescribed Amlomg 5 and then 10. As far as I could know the hypertension was due to stress. Now when it is normal should I stop taking Amlong?
