Yes, Hi in capillary: which leaked blood, very visible under conjunctiva vs. under skin or deeper within the body. Most BP drop occurs within end arterioles, body wide, e.g. from mean BP ~90 mmHg within aortic root down to ~25 mmHg within arteriole just prior to capillary, If arteriole dilates, allowing more pressure into capillary or capillary too fragile, then will bleed. Systemic BP can be Hi or Nl & still happen.

Yes: Subconjunctival hemorrhage is not uncommon in patients with high blood pressure. It is usually due to a ruptured small conjunctival blood vessel. It will usually resolve in 1-2 wks; avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, coumadin (warfarin) (unless needed), heavy lifting, straining, smoking. See MD for BP check.
