Does advil (ibuprofen) lower blood pressure?

No: Not directly. Your BP can be elevated due to pain and advil (ibuprofen), (ibuprofen) by relieving the pain, may allow your BP to fall, but it's not a direct action of advil (ibuprofen).

Doubtful: Advil (ibuprofen) should not be expected to lower blood pressure. In my experience chronic pain does not generally raise blood pressure, and advil (ibuprofen) does not help much to reduce chronic pain. Lastly, chronic use of anti inflammatory drugs leads to intestinal, kidney, and cartilage related side effects.
