Yes: Pain, both acute and chronic, can increase blood pressure. However, the relationship is a bit complicated, as those with high blood pressure seem to be less sensitive to pain. But many people with high blood pressure have chronic pain. See http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1524-6175.2003.02830.x/full for details.
