What Causes High BP After Steroids For Painful Leg?
My blood pressure for the past 3 weeks has been elevated to a range of 135-170 s over 90-120 s. I am 27 years old 5 6 130lbs and in good health. I had a steroid pack 2 weeks ago for a painful leg that lasted 6 days. Is this a reaction to the medication or is something wrong?

hi
yes ,steroids can increase the blood pressure levels as well as the sugar levels.
they boost the body hormone or the endocrine system of the body
due to excessive adrenaline, secretion the blood pressure readings can vary.
this usually settles on its own or sometimes it can prolong causing lifelong changes
all the best
take care
