I get same thing. Head ach fast heart rate high blood pressure! Have it rite now help!!'
Wow, I had a cortisone shot in my hand for tendonitis yesterday. This morning my BP was 208/110. This was after taking my BP medicine Metropolol Tartate a few hours earlier. I now realize the shot was the cause of this. I told my DR I had a heart problems, he never said a word about this affect at all. Thanks you all for this information.
All you have to do is take a pill for allergies.
I had an injection done today, and my blood pressure was already elevated before the injection, after wards in feeling worse.
I had 3 cortizone shots in my knee a year ago and my blood pressure is still high.. it jumps around but normally stays around 180/90. There is no explanation other than the shots. After the shots I also had all of the side effects others have mentioned. I am a redhead and have bad side effects to many meds. It sounds crazy but there have been studies done proving redheads are very reactive to meds. I realized early on that I was very reactive to the cortizone but just put it together concerning my bp. I have an appointment with my Dr.tomorrow. Good luck to you.
I had the same thing happen to me. High blood pressure after a cortisone I shot.
Yes I am experiencing the same side effects from three knee shots. It is the third day of headaches no hight blood pressure. I sure hope this is better tomorrow. I feel aweful
Did your blood pressure never get back too normal
Hello I am glad I found this sight. I am in the hospital for BP high and fast heart rate. I have been taking the shots for 2 months and been in the ER 3 times. All my blood work is normal I am going to take a stress test and other heart tests this morning. I am sure now that this is related to the cortisone shots. BP 180/105 heart rate 120
I just had a cortozone shot in arm and my blood pressure shot up and so did heart rate and it was erratic. I'm grateful to find this site. Hoping it will go down soon. Been 10 hours since injection.
True, they know about these sites just cannot acknowledge it to a patient. Cannot say it's okay to check a website for information.
Blood pressure up after 2 cortison shots in spine and hip for sciatica. How long does cortisone stay in the ststem?
I had a second Cortizone shot in my right shoulder two days ago. Yesterday I had a flushing in my face and got cheeks, this morning I woke up with a bright purple face and blood pressure of 190/107 I took my blood pressure several times during the day after trying relaxation therapy. It's been up all day long. It finally it just broke I felt a total flush my face is not red anymore and My pressure is 117/62 which is my normal. I do not take high blood pressure medications. I wish I knew this was a side effect I should have researched it prior to the injection. The first shot did not have this effect on me. I am a. visiting nurse and will let my patients know this serious scary side effect of a cortisone injection from now on
I had same thing happen with my blood pressure two weeks after steroid injection in the hip. Wondering how long did it take for your BP to return to normal?
I had a cortisone injection in my shoulder and my "normal" blood pressure at home is higher. This is the only change. I have a healthy BMI, eat healthy and exercise. This is the only thing that is different in the last week or so. I believe there is a link. Glad to see I am not imagining it
