Can I reduce my blood pressure by draining some blood?
In: Biology
only if you drain enough blood to be at the point of almost dying. Your body will try really hard to keep your blood flowing to your heart, brain, and other vital organs as long as it can. Decreasing blood pressure happens at stage 3 (out of 4) shock from blood loss. Before that, the heart will increase how hard/much it pumps, and your blood vessels will constrict to keep pressure up. As a result, the blood pressure will increase temporarily before it falls again. And then, you die. 0/10, would not recommend.
