Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The medications include a pain killer and muscle relaxant. Pain can cause an increase in blood pressure, if that is the source of your high blood pressure, using the pain medication with the muscle relaxant would help.
The blood pressure should be repeated when there is a decrease in the intensity of your pain.
It is possible that there may be a change, if the readings still remain high then you need medication for high blood pressure.
I hope this helps
