Can A Pinched Cervical Nerve Cause An Elevation In Bp?

can a pinched cervical nerve cause an elevation in blood pressure? I think i may have 1 or more bulging cervical discs. I have intermittent tingling in one or both hands, and awaken almost daily with a spasm in my upper trapezius muscle on one side. As of late i've been experiencing headaches that run in linear fashion from my eyes to the base of my skull and the last few days my bp has been elevated.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, pinched cervical nerve can not cause elevated blood pressure.
Your intermittent tingling, spasm of trapezius muscle can be due to pinched cervical nerve.
Your elevated blood pressure might be due to inadequate sleep, stress and tension.
So better to avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
Consult good physiotherapist for your cervical spine problem.
Once this problem is treated and you get sound sleep, your blood pressure will also start reducing.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
No need to start antihypertensive drug at present.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
