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

I have low bp. but if I don't exercise and if I get pain (from all of the above - which I have or have had) my bp goes up. I inherited coronary artery disease so it is MANDATORY to keep my bp in check. Here's how I do it:
manage my weight
diet: lower salt increase fluides
exercise: walking twice a day for 20 minutes a stretch
staying active and keeping a solid routine
paying attention to my sleep
not drinking too much caffeine
managing my PAIN
I still have a perfect 110/74 since I was a teen. (I am 68) but for 30 years my bp will stray. When it gets above 122- 132 I stop sleeping! This past decade it has gotten very stubborn. After I have my spine surgeries (3) and start a routine again I drop it back down. It is very scary to see it now go to 145 when my pain is not managed. Therefore - I avoid "suffering" and will manage and attend to my pain. For me that means taking opioids for bone pain that can't be managed. When my pain is in check and I can exercise (light walking will do it in the morning and afternoon) I can bring my bp to normal again. Been that way for years. YES, pain causes bp to rise!
If you can't walk DO SEATED YOGA DEEP BREATHING exercises. Find on the internet. it should help!

"As a retired nurse with controlled hypertension an elevation due to exercise is expected and normal. You BP fluctuates throughout the day according to your activity and one time elevations are not abnormal."

The symptoms I get subsequent to almost any kind of upper body exercise - which include a drastic, long-lasting elevation in blood pressure - are nowhere close to being "normal." The symptoms also include significantly worse tinnitus, light-headedness, anxiety and insomnia. Light exercise should not cause this.

"Also, you might consider stopping your sit-up’s since they cause more harm than good. Did you know that the military has stopped sit-up’s as part of their training."

Of course I don't do sit-ups anymore; first, because as I said, they have the same negative effects as e.g. push-ups; and second, because I know they're generally not good. And BTW leg raises and even chair yoga produce the same symptoms.

@nelson2025 I have been experiencing these EXACT symptoms since the 80’s. I also experience palpitations and esophageal spasms along with the BP spikes. I researched the symptoms and found that Achalasia symptoms match my experience. I mentioned it to my PCP and asked for a neurology consult but she suggested it could just be anxiety and prescribed a beta blocker and diuretic to lower my blood pressure.
