Suggest Remedy For High BP
Over the last four days my blood pressure has been going up Peaked at 182/112 on Tuesday so I went to a Cardiologist. Had EKG, ultrasound, carodic artery test- all were good. Slowly coming down and today it is 153/100. Sometimes I get a metal-type taste in my mouth. I also had, last Friday a cortizone shot in my hip as I have a labral teat forgot to tell doctor that a my back doctor had put me on a medium dose of antiinflammatory- so wondering if the drugs had an interaction- your thoughts?

Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that cortisone shots and also anti-inflammatory drugs can raise your blood pressure.
So, the fluctuations in your blood pressure seem to be related to the shot and the NSAIDs that you are taking.
Your blood pressure values will probably normalize after you stop these drugs.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
