Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that Sciatica itself does not cause high blood pressure. But the pain associated to Sciatica can raise blood pressure values.
Painkillers used to help with the pain in Sciatica patients can also raise blood pressure values.
Hope to have been helpful!
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me again!
