Doesn't hurt to ask.
I am glad that your BP is normal! indeed, what a relief.

I was afraid of injecting myself before I started Ozempic in 2022, but it turned out to be painless. Just to let you know. As a side note, I think with your BMI you are (thankfully) not heavy enough to be started on Ozempic or Mounjaro. But needle pricks, they are completely OK.
