Follow: Follow your doctor's advice on this one. At the time of your colonoscopy, your blood pressure will be taken beforehand, during, and after the colonoscopy repeatedly. Your doctor and his nurses will know what to do for any eventuality. Do not let this worry keep you from having the procedure. Good luck.
