Hypertension with mid-face filler and/or wrinkle relaxer?

sduran12
A few months ago, i was injected with Botox in my masseter. I immediately felt sick. My blood pressure was taken and was 142/92. A few weeks later i was injected with a second round of Voluma and had the same symptoms. Today, when getting my TB test, I quickly got hypertensive. I am an esthetic nurse and have asked around with no one having any knowledge of this. I'm heavily tattooed, not afraid of needles and in great health. I really don't want to stop getting injections because of this.
