Does Botox Cause High Blood Pressure (Sudden Onset)?

June 12, 2013
Asked By:murphy1955

Several weeks ago I received Botax. About 4-5 days later I experienced high blood pressure (160s over 90s-170s) over 90s. I didn't want to have another stroke so I took additional pills. My b/p is still a bit high (120s over 80s) compared to my normal reading which was around 105 over 60ish. What effect if any did the Botax injections cause? Please note that this has never occurred since my stroke. I currently take 10 mg of Lispinol.
