Which nyquil?: some nyquil ingredients can cause elevated bp and rapid heart rate, as phenylephrine and doxylamine, and probably your bp was borderline high before. The stress of common cold and fatigue can cause bp elevations too. Please read the labels carefully for OTC medications, meanwhile rest and remeasure your bp, if still elevated call your doctor, best wishes
