Has anyone ever heard of a connection between higher blood pressure and an exacerbation? When I stayed in the hospital for a week the Neuro team mentioned watching my blood pressure closely because they noticed a link between the two. The idea seemed to be that the raised blood pressure could be used as a warning for an exacerbation coming. My blood pressure is usually really good, but the last two days it has been a bit high. Any ideas? Has anyone read any real studies done on this?
