Can a full bladder alter blood pressure?

Not in any significant way (aka it won't change your results if you go to the doctor with one or without). Having a full bladder will increase your fluid volume a small amount, thus increasing your overall blood pressure slightly. When the bladder is full, the surrounding blood vessels have more fluid in them. They may be carrying extra sodium that the body wants to get rid of. When their is sodium in a certain area, water is drawn to it, thus more fluid in the blood vessels. This causes a minor increase in blood pressure and it should return to normal after the urine is.. expelled :)
