It shouldn't: Dennis, There is no association between calcium supplementation and high blood pressure. If you want to avoid high blood pressure, eat a whole foods, plant based diet, and exercise regularly. Hope this helps!

Calcium: Calcium deposition can lead to hardening of arterial walls which in turn can stiffen them and lead to high BP.
