Cortisone injection causing high bp
No help from local hospital.

So, Saturday night was the worst night trying to sleep. Up every hour checking the time.
I'd been hot/cold Fri and Sat, but not sick.
Face flushed, head hurting...
Early Sunday am decided to check bp. Up over 200. Admittedly, I was a bit scared. Decided to try and lower bp by taking shower, 20 MG of linsinopril & 8k of cinnamon. Oh, and deep breathing.

Woke Augie up and asked if he would take me to the emergency room.

He did. By then bp was 174. 2 times.
I kept telling EVERYONE, "the last time my face was flushed it was from medication, I just had a cortizone shot" told front desk. Told er nurse. Told the er Dr.

No one helped one bit. Went home.

This is where I am now.

Any ideas?

I'm pretty pissed at Ortho, and the emergency room at local hospital.

It is the Summit "Health" Care, in Show Low AZ

I feel worse than yesterday
