Can A Pinched Nerve In Neck Cause Low BP?
Question: would a pinched nerve in my neck cause low blood pressure?
Brief Answer:
No, they are not related
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
No, a pinched nerve in the neck cant lead to a lowered blood pressure. The blood pressure is under an entirely different regulatory system involving autonomic nervous system whereas the nerves in the brachial plexus are a part of the somatic nervous system.
Wishing you best of health
