There is not an actual hormone which increases blood pressure. However, the hormone adrenaline is secreted by the pituitary gland and has the effect of speeding up the contraction of the heart muscle.
In turn this leads to increased blood pressure due to Fick's Law. The stroke volume of the heart has increased so more blood is being forced through the network of blood vessels

What is the definition of epinephrine?
A hormone that increases heart rate, narrows blood vessels, and dilates air passageways. It is produced in the adrenal glands above your kidneys. Patients with anaphylaxis(severe allergic reactions) are given epinephrine, along with patients having a heart attack.
Why give epinephrine for heart attack?
Because it's an adrenalin - it increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels and dilates air passages

Why does your heart rate go up while you kiss?
your body produces a hormone,Adrenaline, that increases your heart rate.
Adrenaline and noradrenaline?
Adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones are secreted in stress conditions. During this the blood vessels dilates and the heart rate increases. BUT actually the function of both the hormone is synergistic in raising the blood pressure. These also release glucose from liver and reinforce the effects of sympathetic system. In the absence of these hormones, the stress conditions are diminished.
What is released into the bloodstream when one's breathing and heartbeat increases?
When released into bloodstream, epinephrine increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels, dilates air passages and participates in the fight-or-flight response of the sympathetic nervous system. Norephinephrine does the same and increases the brain's oxygen supply.
What gland initiates stress responses and increases heart rate and blood pressure and metabolic rate and dilates blood vessels and mobilizes fat and raises blood sugar levels?
