Blood pressure is a major player in this system and increases as needed. Your heart can supply blood, but it takes the work of the arterial walls to get the blood to your stomach. Your arteries accomplish this by raising the pressure to increase the rate of blood flow. Your elevated blood pressure returns to normal when the digestive process is complete.
