>my blood pressure went up to 138/93 shortly after smoking a cigarette. I felt a bit confused, nauseated, sweaty and I had a headache, but all of those could be the result of caffeine withdrawal. I monitored my blood pressure and it went down to approximately 120/80 a half hour later.
It's quite possible for BP to rise by that amount due to anxiety, or increased activity, but the increase will be temporary.
