Blood pressure is a variable that is influenced by almost all exterior stimuli to the body. Anything that causes an emotion or a physiological change in your body can affect your blood pressure.

I dont think it does?

Yes it does, the faster the bpm(beats per minute) and the heavier the bass line will increase blood pressure as well as heart rate as opposed to a legato(slowish) classical piece of music.

i don't thing so but look it up in www.google.com

I've never heard of it! But I gave it some thought and maybe there is a chance just because people sometimes get so excited with some songs that this excitement may affect the blood pressure as it is closely connected to the nervous system. Yes, I really think that it may happen!

The researchers found that music with faster tempos resulted in increased ventilation, heart rate, and blood pressure.
