Polio and Blood Pressure

Original Post: Is there any correlation between polio and high blood pressure?

Dr. Bruno’s Response: Our 1985 National Survey found none. However, low blood pressure and heart rate can be a PPS issue.

The vagus nerve damage in polio survivors can cause a drop in heart rate and blood pressure and trigger fainting, especially in people who have fatigue.
