Re: Botox and High blood pressure ?
I'm no expert, but isn't that kind of rise in blood pressure attributable to the shock effect of getting the injections? I've gotten substantial rises simply be walking up two flights of stairs to get my BP measured.

Hi Edith,

I have never heard of Botox raising one's blood pressure. Possibly what Lynn was pointing out-just the stress of getting the injections will cause some people's blood pressure to rise. The systolic or top number fluctuates more with our activity level and stresses and emotional state and can sometimes fluctuate quite a bit. The pressure should lower as you relax or decrease your activity level.25mg of Hydrochlorothiazide(HCTZ) is a minimal dose of an antihypertensive drug that works by acting as a diuretic. I would guess that your elevation in BP is not related to the botox injections. Can't say for sure, though.
