Nightmares and high BP

Q: Are night terrors (or nightmares) associated with high BP?

A: Some drugs that are used to treat hypertension can cause nightmares. This would be considered an adverse reaction. During a nightmare, blood pressure naturally increases as part of the body’s response to frightening situations. With good blood pressure control, this elevation of pressure should be within normal ranges.
