Why My Blood Pressure Was So High After The Electric Shock?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I had an electric shock last night and the ambulance confirmed my blood pressure was 189/128 or 138, which they said was very high. ECG was fine though. Home now and about to go to work and wished I'd asked more questions as to why my blood pressure was so high. Please could you confirm?

Hello,
Immediately after shock, it can be high due to multiple reasons like arterial contractions, sympathetic response, muscular contractions or tight muscles leading to false bp.
So you check your bp regular and if staying in normal range then no need to worry about it.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
