Can Getting Flu And Tetanus Shot On The Same Day Cause High BP?
CAN GETTING A FLU SHOT AND A TETANUS SHOT ON THE SAME DAY CAUSE A RISE IN BLOOD PRESSURE? MY NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE IS 130/80 BUT SINCE I RECEIVED THESE SHOTS MY PRESSURE HAS ELEVATED TO AS HIGH AS 200/90. I SAW A DOCTOR YESTERDAY ABOUT THE RISE IN PRESSURE BUT FORGOT TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE SHOTS. HE STARTED ME ON 5 MG OF AMLODIPINE PER DAY TO GET IT BACK DOWN. CAN YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION.

HI
Well come to HCM
Taking vaccine shot of tetanus and flu does not cause hypertension this would be just coincidence, if this was the first time noted high blood pressure then this ought to be kept under observation for some time if this persistence then and then this need to be treated followed by EKG and ECHO Renal function test, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
