What Causes High Blood Pressure And Pulse Rate After Taking Epidural Injection?

I recently had an ESI for radicular neuropathy and to further complicate matters, had a minor cardiac event with a slight troponin increase (.012). I have a current BP avg. of about 150/80 pulse of 63 bpm. I have had a continuous headache for the last 2-3 weeks that I cannot seem to shake. Any ideas?
