So sorry to hear that you've had such a dramatic rise in blood pressure in response to getting the shingles vaccine. I know that everyone is different and respond differently. Fortunately, I didn't have any side effects to the first or second shot, but many people on this thread have. Is your blood pressure still spiking as high as it did right after the shot, or has it settled back down? What did the docs in the ER say and do? Did they put you on any medications? If you're still dealing with this adverse effect, I pray that you get complete resolution sooner rather than later and once again get back to your norm of 120/80. ❤️

The ER staff was dumbfounded! EKG and labs were ok. Been on Amlodipine 5mg for last 5 days. BP finally coming down, 169/104. The only issue, relative or not, was I just started taking Omeprazole. This was 2 days after 1st dose of Shingrix. I'm finding this med might have increased the bp as well. Not sure how to determine root cause! Hope my PCP can make sense of this.
