What can i do to prevent swollen joints? i'm concerned about high blood pressure

No real connection: The conditions that cause swelling of joints has no particular relationship with hypertension. Excess salt(sodium) intake can cause fluid retention(edema) in the extremities but won't cause the joints to swell per se.
