8. Blood Pressure Changes

Blood pressure is a commonly checked vital sign that tells us a lot about our body and is the amount of pressure that the blood is applying to the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure naturally rises and falls depending upon what we are doing, feeling, eating, etc. and also will change due to certain things being wrong within the body. Blood pressure that is abnormally high while at rest is called hypertension while blood pressure that is abnormally low is called hypotension. Sometimes, blood pressure will change rapidly which is called labile blood pressure.

Labile blood pressure is another sign of NMS. The rapid changes in blood pressure are an indicator that the part of the nervous system that helps to increase or decrease blood pressure is out of whack.4Tse, Lurdes et al. “Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome: A Review from a Clinically Oriented Perspective.” Current neuropharmacology vol. 13,3 (2015): 395-406. doi:10.2174/1570159x13999150424113345
