If you have high blood pressure, is it safe to take advil (ibuprofen)?

A bit risky: non-steroidal anti-inflammatories cause some fluid retention by the kidney and this tends to make hypertension worse. Much riskier if: diabetic other kidney problems fluid retention due to heart/lung/liver/or kidney disease.
