What Causes Anxiety And Sweating After Having An Epidural Cortisone Injection?
Hello, I received an epidural cortisone injection in my C-5/6 region a week ago tomorrow. My question is that I have been experiencing unexplained anxiety, episodes of feeling very hot and sweating, and restless sleep. These are all new to me, and I am wondering if the steroid injection can cause those reactions. Thank you for you response.
