Is High BP A Symptom Of LCV?

I have a vascular disease called lcv which is a rather rare disease. Recently I had a cuple of very bad coughing episodes one of which took place at work; a school as I am a teacher. A nurse was brought in and he took my blood pressure which was very high . He said I was hypertensive. Was this just due to the chest cold or could it be due to the lcv
