Some painkillers known as NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, aspirin and diclofenac causes salt and water retention by interfering with synthesis of important physiological chemicals called prostaglandins.
Retention of salts and water results in increased blood volume and thereby increased blood pressure.
NSAIDS also interferes with the effectiveness of some of blood pressure medicines including hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and frusemide(lasix).
If possible, use alternative painkillers such as paracetamol instead.
