i am on bp medication (beta and calcium channel blockers) and my home measured bp averaged 120/76. however i had a flu shot a day ago when i had my bp checked hours later averaged 138-150/86-90 over three readings. i was concerned about this.
can getting the flu shot raise blood pressure? . i have been monitoring my blood pressure for about 3 weeks now and the readings have been normal (110/75) but i noticed ever since i received my flu shot from a few days ago my blood pressure has been reading higher (140-150 range/85). is this a side effect of the flu shot?
