Can a pinched nerve at the base of your skull you to have high blood pressure when you have never had high blood pressure. thanks?

The only connection would be through severe pain, but a pinched nerve in the neck would not cause high blood pressure through a direct effect. An isolated elevated high blood pressure reading is hard to interpret otherwise and has to be followed with rechecks for confirmation.

NO, a “pinched nerve” in the neck is not a cause of hypertension
