What Causes Flushing And Short Breath After Steroid Shot?

I Had a steroid shot in my lower back last Monday. I have had different side affects since then. I had the flushing during the week and then I had a dr,;s appt to have my blood work and my mammogram. On my way home I felt a little winded but didn t think much about it until when I started walking into work I got short of breath. Yesterday being Friday I went to the local dr, because I felt like I have before when I have had sedation and coming out of it my blood pressure goes low and I kind of feel short of breath, She took a blood test to make sure I didn t have a blood clot in my lungs or whatever. The test came back normal but I am still short winded. Could this be normal?
