Can bradycardia and hypertension occur concurrently?
Yes. In the Cushing's reflex, which is due to traumatic head injury resulting in an increased intracranial pressure, the body exhibits what is called the CNS ischemic response. This response is due to activation of both the sympathetic nervous system (which constricts veins and arterioles to increase both peripheral resistance and increase venous return to the heart) and the parasympathetic nervous system (which acts to slow the heart rate by overriding sympathetic stimulation on the heart). This results in a concurrent bradycardia and hypertension
