Answer:

When exercising, yes. If the decrease in blood pressure is due to rest after a strenuous physical activity in which there was an increase in blood pressure to supplement the bodies increase in demand for oxygen, with a corresponding rise in the bodies core temperature, then yes. As the body recovers the blood pressure would lower back down to normal at the same time the core body temp declined.

However systemically speaking most people who have lower than average blood pressure readings often may find they also have other sub-standard vitals such as lower core temp, lower resting heart rate, lower vital volume, etc. The comparison of course being the published 'average' or 'normal' for the population.

As one gets healthier and more physically fit their normal resting blood pressure may reduce itself independently of the core body temperate.

For example someone decides to loose 50 lbs may have their BP drop from 140/90 down to 120/80 yet their core temp would remain 97.8 to 98.7 (aka normal).

Does heat affect blood pressure?

Increases in body temperature cause a corresponding increase in respiratory rate and heart rate because there is an increase in metabolic needs of the body. As regards blood Pressure, I believe the blood pressure goes down as a result of an Increase in body temperature. The body generates a lot of heat that decreases body hydration level and a result the body becomes dehydrated and the BP decreases. Increase with fever, necessitating more oxygen. The client who has a decrease in body temperature will experience a decrease in respiratory rate, Heart rate and Blood pressure.


Why is blood pressure higher lying down than sitting or standing?

In most cases, body position has very little effect on blood pressure. In many cases, the blood pressure will rise a little as a result of the heart rate going up when sitting or standing compared to lying down. Some people have an imbalance in their Autonomic Nervous System, which controls constriction and dilation of blood vessels and may find that their blood pressure is lower when standing as opposed to when lying down or sitting.


How does the body respond when temperature increases?

When the body temperature increases, the body responds by sweating to cool down, blood vessels dilate to release heat, and the heart rate may increase to help circulate blood and regulate temperature.


How do clogged blood vessels affect the heart and hence the body?

They slow down the heart rate &cause high blood pressure in the body


Why cold water could bring blood pressure down?

When your extremities are exposed to cold temperatures the body protects core temperature by cutting off blood circulation to that limb. This decrease in blood circulation to the area causes increased respiratory rate, increased muscular tension which leads to shivering, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure.


What structures in the body control rising blood temperature?

The hypothalamus in the brain is primarily responsible for regulating body temperature. When the body's temperature rises, the hypothalamus signals for responses such as sweating, vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), and increased breathing rate to help cool the body down. Additionally, skin blood vessels also play a role in releasing heat from the body.


What effects does the elevated temperature have on the other vital signs?

As your temperature goes up, so will your heart rate. Your blood pressure may go up, at first, but will eventually go down, in response to your rapid heart rate. As your blood pressure drops (it may go very low, esp. if you experience shaking chills), your respiratory rate will go up in an attempt to oxygenate all of your body's cells.


Why do your veins stick out?

Veins help regulate your body temperature. When the body temperature is too warm, the veins will pop out. Veins will also be more prominent in those who have less body fat, and in the elderly because their skin is thin.

How does gravity effect blood pressue?

Gravity affects blood pressure by influencing the distribution of blood in the body. When standing, gravity causes blood to pool in the lower extremities, which can lead to a decrease in blood pressure. Conversely, when lying down, gravity helps facilitate blood flow back to the heart, which can help regulate blood pressure.


Why does a cold shower cool you down?

Taking a cold shower reduces body temperature by constricting blood vessels and decreasing blood flow to the skin. This helps to dissipate heat and lower body temperature, providing a cooling effect.


Did the subject's BP change when altering body position?

A person's blood pressure will change slightly depending on their position. When you take someone's blood pressure, they should be sitting up, with their legs straight in front of them, not crossed. Laying down will give a lower blood pressure.
