Can i get high blood pressure or low with anemia?

Yes: You also have a duty to learn the cause of your anemia, and insist your physician explain the workup. "Low blood pressure" is a non-entity if you feel well. Hypertension is the silent killer. Stay pro-active about your health.

Unrelated: Hi. Anemia is more related to increased heart rate. BP is more related to volume status and vascular tone. Generally, I'd say anemia causes neither high nor low BP, but a faster pulse.
