Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that during a painful time blood pressure can rise and is not a major concern if you are hypertensive already.
If your BP stays under 140/90 then you need not to worry and you can continue with your day to day life.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap,
