> Testing blood pressure after a shot seems weird.

I was at the Dr last week and my first BP reading was 154/95, a second reading a few minutes later was 141/89. The doctor asked for one more reading before I left.

The medical assistant gave me my vaccines and then took my BP, 130/81 right after a Hep B and COVID vaccine. I told the tech that needles didn’t bother me at all, she believed me after she saw my blood pressure :)



Needles don't bother me, but being made to wait 30+ minutes past my appointment time does.

They should measure it right when I walk in, before I find out how behind the doctor is.
