Yes it can. Walking into the room to get your presser checked, just smoking a cigarette and other factors may effect your blood pressure. For an accurate test you should set at rest for a couple of minutes.
But this doesn't answer the specific question asked. the answer is NO. Body position has nothing to do with increase or decrease in blood pressure as long as you are at rest. But even at rest, emotional stress can increase blood pressure. there are many factors that effect blood pressure.

So pressure varies according to changes in height.The higher the height the higher the pressure and vice versa.
CASE 1:A man lying flat on a level ground.the arterial pressure on his head and feet lets say s 12.67 kPa(the pressure on his chest will be a bit higher 13.3 kPa becoz of higher position of chest)The venial pressure is lower well because the blood flowing in the veins is not directly being pumped by the heart lets say 0.67 at the feet and brain.
If the man now stands uprightly the arterial pressure on the head becomes 6.80kPa and the venial pressure is _5.2o.The fall in pressure is due to changes in attitude.NB,the arterial pressure on the feet now increases up to 24.40k Pa,venule pressure 12.4O kPA COZ PRESSURE ON THE FEET IS NOW MUCH HIGHER THAN WHEN THE MAN WAS LYING DOWN,
Basically depending on ones posture the blood pressure at diff points of his body change coz of changes in h,so one should always maintain appropriate body posture.

∙ 9y agoWhen taking a person's blood pressure, the arm should be at level with the heart. Otherwise, the reading will be inaccurate. However, as long as blood pressure is taken properly, the variation in the result is should be minimal. For a person with an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system, blood pressure usually changes when the person stands up. It is called postural hypotension.

Where in systemic circulation is Blood Pressure highest?
What position is blood pressure normally the highest and lowest?If a person was sitting, reclining, or standing, which position would cause the blood pressure to be highest and lowest?Also, if there was an increase in blood viscosity, cardiac ouput, and diameter of the arterioles would this constitute to an increase in blood pressure as well?blood pressure (BP) is usuall lowest standing position and highest in supine (reclining) position. This is because the blood return to the heart is decreased when standing.http://www.bloodpressureinc.com/what-position-is-blood-pressure-normally-the-highest-and-lowest/Exercise is at its highest when we exercise and lowest when we sleep.
What happens to blood pressure as you exercise?
Blood pressure increases during excercise because the heart rate increases to allow more blood to get to the working muscles. However: Moderate exercise, i.e. walking, has benefits for people suffering high blood pressure. Research has shown that walking several times a week for at least half an hour can help lower high blood pressure. It is best to avoid continued strenuous exercise, however - high BP causes greater strain on the arteries, and in strenuous exercise, one is making one's heart work harder.
Did the subject's BP change when altering body position?
A person's blood pressure will change slightly depending on their position. When you take someone's blood pressure, they should be sitting up, with their legs straight in front of them, not crossed. Laying down will give a lower blood pressure.
What changes in blood vessels account for the change in blood pressure when standing from the reclining position?
head neck
What happens to resting diastolic blood pressure as an adaptation to regular exercise?
Diastolic blood pressure is when the heart is refilling with blood after pumped oxygenated blood to the working muscles; this is the relaxation phase. An adaptation to regular cardiovascular exercise is an increase in the hearts efficiency in doing this. Therefore, as an adaptation to exercise, diastolic blood pressure either decreases slightly or doesn't change. This is because the heart has longer to refill the atrium so it isn't under as much pressure.
How does the body benefit from a change in blood pressure during exercise?
As one exercises, they need more blood, faster. They need more faster because energy and oxygen are being used at a faster pace. The increase in blood pressure during exercise allows for the blood to flow at its maximum efficiency.
How does regular exercise improve cardivascular function during times of stress?
It keeps the blood vessels resilient and supple so that when an abrupt change in blood pressure occurs, for whatever reason the blood vessels can dilate or constrict to accommodate the change in blood pressure. In effect, exercise creates a pressure buffer to keep the blood pressure where it needs to be, thereby avoiding the possibility of damaging vital organs but especially the heart. Exercise creates a pressure buffer by conditioning the tone of the smooth muscle which covers the vessel and which is the means by which the vessel increases and decreases in diameter.
What happens to your blood pressure when you exercise?
Exertion will cause blood pressure to elevate. Biking makes my blood pressure drop ( afterwards )
What are the changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure during exercise?
The systolic blood pressure changes significantly due to the lactic acid interacting with the ATP withing the bloodstream. During light exercises, such as walking or low weight wieghtlifting, the change is minimal. However, One moderate to high exercise is engaged, the change becomes rapid, increasing at a rate of approximately 5% per minute. It eventually plataues around 25% and then drops quite severly once exercise has ceased. The Diastolic blood pressure however, is almost the complete opposite. There is generally no change within pressure throughout exercise, except when V02 max is reached, initiating a small increase in pressure due to an increase in heart rate. Hope this Helps!
How is your blood pressure affected with exercise?
After exercise, your blood pressure will raise. Why? Because exercise raises your heart rate and heart rate raises blood pressure. I did this experiment on my Science Fair Project so im pretty sure about my answer. Hope I helped though :]
What response should blood pressure have to an acute bout of exercise?
It should increase high blood pressure
Is exercise effective in reducing blood pressure?
Yes
