There is no harm from checking your blood pressure above an IV site. No air would be pumped into the IV by taking a blood pressure. Your going to be all right. You might want to keep an eye on your blood pressure though.

spell check is a wonderful thing

oh and the tech couldn't have affected your blood pressure. your fine

No harm in it at all.
Any air (highly unlikely) will just be absorbed by your body.
Any inaccuracy in the numbers will be sorted out by the 2nd check.
They were probably talking about something else.
Your headaches are most likely from worrying.
You are fine.
Move on.

They shouldn't have taken the blood pressure on the arm with the cannula. The cannula shouldn't have been in the elbow joint site either. normally on the back of the hand.
