Has anyone ever had high blood pressure after getting a botox injection? Mine has gotten high after this last injection.

No, my blood pressure doesn't get any worse. I already
take medication for slight high blood pressure, though.
But the Botox has never seemed to affect it.

I don't know how old you are, but as a person ages, it
is rather common for the b.p. to raise some. Maybe you
should check with your regular G.P.

I've not experienced or heard of a link between Botox and high blood pressure problems. Although, I guess it is possible due to anxiety.

When I got my first Botox shot in 1998, I explored the possibility of Botox affecting other parts of my body besides my vocal cord muscles. My otolaryngologist explained that the Botox molecules, once injected, are too large to escape to other parts of the body.
