How can medical personnel tell from your vital signs that you need more pain medicine?

My doctor told me that they can tell from my vitals if I need more drugs during surgery. I was just wondering what they are looking for. Thanks!

    When a person experiences pain, their heart rate and blood pressure rises. That's how they know you are experiencing pain when you are under and cannot express to them that you feel pain.

    Hope this helps. =)
