Will severe arthritis in the neck cause extremely high blood pressure?

Welcome @ccountie, I'm just a patient like yourself with no medical background but I think severe arthritis in the neck can possibly increase your blood pressure but it is always best to discuss this type of question with your doctor or a specialist. Here's some information that may help answer your question.
"Cervical spondylosis may be one of the causes of secondary hypertension. Early treatment for resolution of symptoms of cervical spondylosis may have a beneficial impact on cardiovascular disease risk in patients with cervical spondylosis."

Have you talked with your doctor about a connection between your neck arthritis and high blood pressure?

I have degenerative disc disease and my 5th & 6 disc’s are pushed in a little also bone spurs. I always thought it was the pain that caused my higher blood pressure. I take blood pressure medication and it keeps it down. I realize that many people believe that those meds cause different issues but I think those issues are less severe than the alternative. Just my thoughts as I am not an expert.
