Can a trauma raise blood pressure?

Can an upsetting incident cause blood pressure that is usually normal to jump? For a week after the incident I had a horrible headache. I finally went in to the doctor and my blood pressure was 156/100. My doctor gave me Atenenol to get it down. My pulse now is 58 and bp is 90/70. I am very tired and dizzy now, though.
