Hello,
Spinal cord overgrowth needs to be investigated with CT scan and MRI to know the nature of the growth. High blood pressure may or may not be associated with spinal growth. I suggest you to get treatment for high blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
