During an allergic reaction our body under stress releases adrenaline, serotonin and other substances that can cause high blood pressure in some people with allergic reactions. In one study it was up to 13% of anaphylaxis cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27536507/

Sometimes when a patient has an acute event, the stress of the sudden illness can raise the blood pressure. You should be certain not to take amoxicillin or any penicillin derivatives in the future. Be safe and good luck.
