Would The Epidural Injection Raise Blood Pressure Levels?

my blood pressure has been fine, and then I went for an epidural for my herniated disk and it was high before the shot 144/80 then after the shot which hurt like crazy it was 130/90 they had me wait a bit and then it was 129/80. This morning I decided to check it first thing and it was 143/80 I wonder why that is. I am not overweight. Would the steroid they shot in raise my blood pressure
