Pam,
When my pain is bad, my BP is almost alway high. Pain does stress you out and in many cases UP goes the BP.
I would caution any one that has a lot of pain to keep tabs on their BP because it is a silent killer. Many people don't find out how dangerous high BP is until something bad has happened. Montoring and treating high BP is an area where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. More than that,
it is a life saver.
Best regards,

EJ
