How To Reduce Excessive Thirst And High BP

I ate some puffcorn, mac n cheese and coke for supper at 8 pm. I have been very thirsty and feel like blood pressure high ever since then. Anything I can do to make me feel better. I have been drinking water since then to try to relieve thirsty feeling. I am a 28 year old female and I weigh 90 pounds

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that is a normal physiological reaction to have increased thirst after consuming such spicy foods.

A considerable quantity of salt has been taken with food, and additional water must balance such a hypertonicity.

Don't worry about that reaction. It is a normal transient physiological body response.

Meanwhile, I recommend to check your blood pressure values. If excessive BP values are detected (especially when accompanied by clinical complains, i recommend to seek medical advice to the nearest ER service).

Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Ilri
