What Causes High BP And Low Fever At The Same Time?

Help. Perfectly normal healthy 50 year old male. 175 pounds. 6 foot tall. No history of high blood pressure. Now for 10 days my blood pressure is in the 150/92 range and i have a low fever. Light headed. I had a root canal 11 days ago. Had it looked at by a 2nd dentist and it looks good. I went to my dr and he ran blood tests. all normal. I cant believe this is just a coincidence. I believe either the tooth infection has gotten into my blood stream or my bodys immune system just cannot deal with the tooth. No blame. I just want my healthy life back.

Hi. Thank you for your question. I understand your concerns.

If it would be an infection to your blood stream, it would be shown on your blood tests. My opinion is that you have nothing to worry about, as this problem is concerned.

I spotted the high level of blood pressure. Adding your age, this may be the beginning phase of hypertension. I would recommend a 24-hour blood pressure monitor to diagnose or rule it out, and starting treatment, eventually.

I hope I was helpful. Feel free to ask again. Good day
