What Causes An Increase In The Blood Pressure?
My daughter 34 had injections today in her back. Her blood pressure before the injections was 175 over 147. She is on medication 20 mg. not sure what the name is for a month now but bp still very high. After 4 more readings and after the shots it came down to 142 over 120. What causes this in such a young person? I told her she needs to ask her pcp to refer her to a specialist in bp. What kind of a doctor would that be?

Hello,
It is not related to injection.
She might be having essential hypertension.
Consult an internal medicine specialist or physician and get evaluated. She might require low dose antihypertensives like amlodipine.
As of now restrict the salt intake.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
