Suggest Treatment For Elevated BP Level

Had a blood pressure spike since my wife gave me her first testosterone injection in my arm. She said she saw blood when she aspirated the needle. What if she hit a blood vessel? BTW, from 120/80- to 160/92 and staying there. The shot was VERY painful!!

Dear there is no correlation of giving injection in arm and high blood pressure . You get anxious about it.get your blood pressure checked by a qualified doctor .If it is found to be above normal range of 140/90 on 3 different occasions over a period of one week then it's an indication of therapy with diagnosis of hypertension . Home monitoring of blood pressure is better than in hospital because some time in few people bp increases in hospital setting and is normal at home this has to be avoided before making diagnosis pe hypertension . Hope this will help.
