Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: High Blood Pressure and Rapid Heart Rate
High levels of serotonin in the body will also have an effect on the cardiovascular system. The buildup of serotonin in the body will lead to a rapid heart rate. Blood pressure changes are also common as serotonin stimulates several internal chemical responses, leading to an increased blood pressure.
For this reason, those who develop serotonin syndrome will have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack or stroke.
