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.

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.
How will blood pressure change after exercise?
After exercise, blood pressure typically increases due to the body's increased demand for oxygen and nutrients. This increase in blood pressure helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs that are working harder during exercise.
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
How long does it take to lower blood pressure through exercise?
Lowering blood pressure through exercise can vary depending on the individual and the intensity of the exercise. Generally, regular exercise can help lower blood pressure within a few weeks to a few months. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice on exercise and blood pressure management.
What are the changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure during exercise?
During exercise, systolic blood pressure typically increases due to the increased demand for oxygen by the muscles. Diastolic blood pressure may either stay the same or slightly decrease, as the blood vessels dilate to allow more blood flow to the muscles.
How does hypertensive blood pressure respond to exercise?
Hypertensive blood pressure can decrease during and after exercise due to the increased blood flow and improved cardiovascular function. Regular exercise can help manage and lower high blood pressure over time.
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.
Is your blood pressure higher after exercise?
Yes, blood pressure can be higher after exercise due to the increased demand on the heart and blood vessels during physical activity.
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.
Is blood pressure higher after exercise?
Yes, blood pressure is typically higher immediately after exercise due to the increased demand on the cardiovascular system.
