Not drinking enough and higher blood pressure!

Options
Yesterday and most of today I was working on building a website. In the 2 days maybe 3 liters of water total for yesterday and so far today. Now today my blood pressure is way up. I have high blood pressure but not like this.

Has anyone ever heard of not enough water raising your blood pressure.

Thanks

    Sounds like something to ask your doctor.

    Stress can also raise blood pressure and it can last for days. Could you have been a bit stressed? Alcohol can also raise it. Did you have a drink to celebrate finishing? So many other things could do this.

    Dehydration messes with blood pressure. In my case I have chronic low bp and dehydration will cause my bp to drop lower. Possible it could have similar effect for someone with high bp tendencies
