Indirectly.: The pain caused by obstruction of the urinary system by stones can cause the blood pressure and heart rate to rise. This can also occur if there is an associated infection. In the absence of symptoms like pain, we don't commonly associate stones with cardiovascular signs. That being said, there is evidence that obesity, high-fat diet, & sodium are risk factors for both hypertension and stones.

No: The stones themselves don't cause tachycardia or hypertension, however your kidney function is closely related to your blood pressure. They kidney senses blood pressure and produces hormones to regulate pressure in the body. Certainly pulse and blood pressure can respond to pain and obstruction. Ask your doctor for help with pain, treatment, and prevention.
