I was involved in an auto accident. I was rear ended by a drunk driver. My muscles were tight in my neck and shoulders. The highest my blood pressure ever was before the accident was 160's/99ish. When I went to the doctor for my neck and back, my blood pressure was 285ish/135ish. I have never had it that high before in my life! The doctor took and X-ray and then sent me to the cardiologist. The cardiologist had me wear a heart monitor for two weeks and then get an echocardiogram. I take two beta blockers and two lisinoprils daily. Now, a year later, the man's insurance has not paid for any of my medical bills or any compensation. I keep getting the run around. There is always something missing. Something new every time. I am in the process of starting a law suit and am hoping to get all of my medical expenses paid. I do believe that whip lash could be related to high blood pressure.
