Hello,
Superficial thrombophlebitis is rarely dangerous, and it's very unusual for a superficial thrombophlebitis to spread from surface veins to the deep veins. It usually does not affect the blood pressure. I suggest to consult a cardiologist for a specific treatment for the high blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
