only if you donate alot of it. cjhs

Donating blood can help lower high blood pressure. Red blood cells last about 120 days before they become too inflexible to bend and pass through tiny capillaries. Donating blood causes the body to quickly generate new red blood cells and that lowers the average age and average hardening of the cells.

No, because high blood pressure is not caused by having too much blood. Many hypertensive patients are actually volume contracted. When we vasodilate them with anesthetic drugs, their blood pressure drops precipitously, and they need extra fluid to get back to a normal pressure.

no
