welcome chrisrobinson and congrats on 17 weeks (can you just confirm your quit date for your milestone badges ). Unfortunately, I have not come across a side effects high blood pressure especially at this stage of your quit, perhaps the first week or so as our circulation gets back to a non smoker. We tend to blame quitting on every aliment we encounter when we quit, perhaps a visit to your doctor for peace of mind on the high blood pressure - keep us updated on your progress

Hello and well done on getting this far.
I have to agree with Roisin01, you should get checked out at the doctor. 17 weeks is a major achievement so keep going strong. ☺
