It is likely you had a blood pressure issue before anesthesia as well. Unless you are in a lot of pain, you should speak first to your primary care doctor.
It is likely related to stress and anxiety. Make sure to rest, drink clear fluids and eat a light meal.
High blood pressure is never "okay". You should have it measured repeatedly and consult a medical specialist if your BP measurements remain high.
Good BP control preoperatively and perioperatively should be a goal of successful operation. Postoperative high BP should be corrected by appropriate pain control and by primary care physician as well.
Yes, transiently.
