Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would like to tell you that it is not safe to take Hoodia gordonii when you are already suffering with high blood pressure. Hoodia gordoni has a bad effect on your heart as it can raise your blood pressure and your heart rate. Kindly adapt lifestyle modification with DASH diet to loose weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap
