Have severe pain in right arm, supposedly arthritis. Took a tramaol last night and put an Icey Hot patch on my right shoulder. This morning my pressure reistered 94 /57 in that arm but it was 115/64 in the other. I do my pressure every morning when I get up because of being on blood pressure medicine. The combination last night made it possible for me to sleep better. My arm didn't keep me awake.
Can Tramadol and topical anagesics cause lower blood pressue?

The lower blood pressure may have been because you slept well and were comfortable. Tramadol can lower your blood pressure, but the two together have no interaction.
Since heat is the second part of icy hot, there may have been some peripheral vasodilation causing lower bp in that arm
