High prolactin causes high blood pressure?

[Dwayne337]

Never heard anyone mention prolactin being correlated with BP, but did a google:

In humans, several studies have shown that increased levels of prolactin are associated with elevated arterial pressure (18, 19). In the opposite direction, a loss-of-function SNP in the GPR10 gene, which codes for the prolactin-releasing peptide receptor, is associated with reduced BP (20)

Don't think it said how high PRL has to be to cause a BP increase.

Wondering if being at the top of the range (4-15.2ng/mL) would cause a BP increase?

What are your guys' thoughts?

Maybe think of what the cause of the high PRL is and that maybe the cause of high BP. First things I think of is chronic pain and stress.
