Blood pressure generally is higher in the winter and lower in the summer. That's because low temperatures cause your blood vessels to narrow ? which increases blood pressure because more pressure is needed to force blood through your narrowed veins and arteries.

Hi, Lybrate user, shivering affects breathing rate, blood pressure as temperature drops temperature, heart rate increases to keep your body warmed and you might face heart problem if you are suffering from cardiac disorder. Take care.
