Mum just had flair up. But body was uncontrollably shacking with high blood pressure. Is this something that can happen or not linked to ms at all

Did the matter resolve itself for your mother or still causing some issues ? High blood pressure isn’t usually something that is directly linked to the MS but it might be a symptom caused by a chest infection or something like that. If an issue still, I would suggest calling the local GP (or district nurse) to get her blood pressure checked - there are meds (such as Amlodopine) that can help to lower BP, equally the high BP might need checking for other reasons. Hope you managed to solve it ?
