Some of us older CPs have experienced more progressive CP manifestations such as lack of balance, increased spasticity, etc.  I was talking to someone this weekend about her father, who has Parkinson's, which can exhibit itself in spastic muscles similiar to CP, and she told me he had been diagnosed with hypertension, which can be caused by nerve problems.  Well... I have high blood pressure myself, and was wondering if CP could have been a factor in its manifestation.

Anyone else have hypertension and if so, do you think the link is logical?  I'm sure my GP would pooh-pooh it, but I do wonder...
