Can Heat Cause High Blood Pressure?

Yes — and it’s more common than you think.

How heat affects blood pressure:

• Causes blood vessels to dilate (lowering pressure short-term)
• Triggers dehydration → raises heart rate and pressure
• Puts stress on heart and kidneys over time

A 2020 study from Harvard Health found that people exposed to extreme heat had more frequent blood pressure spikes, especially if dehydrated or overexerted.

What can you do?

• Track your hydration
• Avoid exertion during peak hours
• Wear breathable, ventilated clothing
• Use a cooling jacket to lower overall body stress
