Hoodia is an appetite suppressant that has not been very well studied. In fact, its efficacy is often questioned. I am not aware of any side-effects of this supplement. Certainly, if you think that there is a temporal relationship between your starting the hoodia and poor blood pressure control you should you could probably assume that the two are somehow related.
