Is there any correlation between hypomaniac states and episodes of higher blood pressure?

Q: I have high BP and bipolar disorder. Is there any correlation between hypomanic states and episodes of higher BP?

A: People with bipolar disorder have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease than the general population. I am not aware of a study that has shown that blood pressure goes even higher during an episode of untreated hypomania but it certainly is possible.
