A member asked:
Could you get high blood pressure from taking novocain (procaine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Novacaine: Actually novacaine is no longer used anymore (to my knowledge). There are newer types of local anesthetics. To answer your question, getting local anesthetic injections will not raise your blood pressure. Some patients get a temporary increase in blood pressure just by being in a medical or dental office.
