What Causes Decreased Blood Pressure Level Post An Injection For Back Pain?

I went to a pain management doctor this morning and had an injection for back pain. Before the injection my blood pressure was 155/82, The blood pressure after the procedure was something like 100/60 and the pulse 50. I had an electric cardiogrma done and no problem by my Cardiologist where I was sent. The blood presure and pulse havs now increased to more normal numbers. Should I be concerned? Bill

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think there is nothing to be worried about since the blood pressure is getting to normal now.
It may have been a temporary drop of blood pressure and heart rate as a reaction of your body that we call it vaso-vagal response.
Some peole react like this from any kind of injection in their body.
from now and on you should know that you are such person and take some preventive meassures such as keep laying down and not standing after the injection for a while and drink some coffee or cola or plenty of water.
