Can whey protein shakes raise blood pressure?
I am 17 and was diagnosed with high blood pressure at my physical a few weeks ago. Since then, I have been monitoring my BP at home. Typically it had been around 140/70 but recently it has dropped to 106/51 (the lowest one I have recorded) I stopped taking whey protein and my dad insists that this was the cause. I was taking about 5 shakes a week for 2 years and used Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein.
