Hi. Welcome To HealthcareMagic
Uncontrolled pain will raise the BP. But arthritis pain will not raise to that high BP. Percocet will not raise BP, in fact it will reduce BP by controlling pain.
Fact is, you need to check BP minimum one more time and if still high, consult the physician for BP medicines. BP is dangerous than arthritis now. Act soon.
Regards, Dr. Jagdish
