yes, it is fine that they took your blood pressure in the same arm as an IV. many anti anxiety medications cause dizziness/drowsiness so that was most likely the problem.
It's OK he checked the blood pressure with that in your vein. I don't know that I would have done it on that arm, but it's ok. As long as it didn't swell up you're fine. Ativan is the drug and it will more than likely make you sleepy and dizzy. Blood pressure is also measured with two numbers. For example 120/80. If you had a lower number (diastolic) of 70 that's perfectly healthy.
