Hey, Firstly there’s no relation between gum disease and high blood pressure. However, there are certain medications that causes your gums to be swollen, red and inflamed. Kindly get a consultancy done to find the cause and get treated accordingly.

Hello sir. There are few medicines used for hypertension (high blood pressure) which can cause gum disease(eg: enlargement of gums) in some patients. Dental issues as such do not cause high blood pressure. You should visit a dentist and your general physician.
