Hello,
Could be related to the knee shot. Take hydrochlorothiazide early in the morning. Avoid caffeinated drinks.
Keep monitoring your blood pressure, and record the results for reference.
If still persisting, should consult with your caring doctor as might need further diagnostic studies and prescription meds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
