I have been receiving ESI every 2 1/2 months. Usually do to pain my Blood Pressure sky rockets and the OP Nurses are concerend. My neurologist who knows me does the procedure and my BP drops to normal right after the procedure. I find it is pain not the injection that is the culprit. Sometimes it takes a bit for the injection to take affect. It has been proven pain elevated BP in almost all cases.
I also had the same symptoms after my injection. My bp was upwards of 196/100. I have been told by everyone that it’s not the injection. I know it is!! They want to do another injection and I’m hesitant due to this and no pain relief. I’ve had to increase my bp meds since.
I find my cholesterol intricacy rights are through the roof from the double series of steroid injections and lower lumbar I'm rethinking about getting the third series
I refuse all shots I don’t trust any of them I already got a letter from the makers of Zantac I need to be scoped as they found out it causes cancer
All symptoms as above plus hot flashes.
Can esi injection cause existing high eye pressure to elevate much higher?
Had a Cervical epidural yesterday an my bp was 146/100 pulse 76 in bed this morning. My cardiologist said it is from steroid injection. I question this.
If your Drs were puzzled, they don’t know much about steroid injections. They quite commonly increase heart rate, bp, and can effect mood. I’ve had them in my neck and they didn’t help. Just had them in lumbar 2 days ago and my bp and hr are once again high. Unsure if these injections will help. Ortho doesn’t think so but Neurosurgeon won’t do anything without attempting more pain management first.
I’m 69 year old white male very healthy but with accidents and problems I have degenerative disc disease I went in for epidural injections L5 S1 my blood pressure is running 170/110 steady for a week now I’m usually at 120/80 think I’m dying check with me later I will tell you if I’m dead or not
Same 69-year-old male also I am short winded I’m having pains across my back and in my left arm my hands are numb my left foot is numb I have ringing in my ears and my eyeballs feel like they’re popping out of my head with pain and I could hardly see close but for the seven days since I’ve been injected I’ve been having a 50 to 70% decrease in pain in that area I think I need to get the other side done but since my blood pressure is running so so high I’m scared I am short winded I’m gonna give it a couple more days if I live that I have to go to the emergency room
Sooo how did it end out? Everything get figured out?

I had a cervical epidural injection in my neck. I had heart palpitations, high BP, insomnia, tired and dry mouth. I ended up going to the ER for my high BP. The Doctor said they were side effects from the epidural. He’s seen it before. It lasted a week. Never again.
Any change after your injection with BP and hr.
