No; Lemon does not raise pressure, on the contrary, it is considered one of the citrus fruits such as oranges that has a prominent role in reducing the risk of high blood pressure, as it contains many vitamins, minerals and plant compounds that may help promote heart health and reduce the risk of heart disease and high pressure.

A 5-month study of 101 Japanese women who consumed lemon juice daily along with walking showed a reduced risk of high blood pressure, and that effect was linked to the citric acid and flavonoid content in lemon.

Of course, this does not replace the medications prescribed by the doctor in the event of chronic high pressure, and you should consult the attending physician first, as citric acid may interfere with some medications, and you should never adjust medication doses on your own unless the specialist tells you to do so.
