one elevated bp may be an early cause for concern. several elevated bps taken at different times of the day over a period of a week is more concerning. get more readings and don't just try and attribute it to your cortisone injections. while there may be some minor relationship there are sooooo many causes for high blood pressure that it would be wise to consult your medical provider so these elevated readings can be properly evaluated and treated if necessary.
can cortisone cause increased blood pressure? s. i had 3 facet cortisone steroid injections 48 hrs ago. nurses at time of release didn't feel that my bp was too high at 157/95. that is extremely high for me even for being under stress. 2 days later i am still running about that high. no chest pains or dizziness just not feeling 'right'. the pain i have from injection sites is minor and not unexpected per what i was told with corresponding stiffness. concerned that my bp has not started to come down though. should i be?
