General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I understand your concern. Rocefin and cefelin are antibiotics given by your doctor to prevent infections for sinus and respiratory illness. The common side effects of Rocephin are hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Hypertension is unusual after Rocephin.
Rocephin might not be the cause of your hypertension and aggressive behaviour. May I know your age and any significant past medical history. You may check up your blood pressure at your nearest clinic.

Hope I cleared your query.

Best!
