Hi, there is no relationship between hemorrhoids and blood pressure.

This polyp could be a external hemorrhoidal button. The most common cause of hemorrhoidal disease is constipation with few weekly evacuations and hard stools. The most feared complication of this problem is the hemorrhoidal thrombosis. This complication is marked by severe anal pain and bleeding site.
If the pain becames severe or if anal bleeding is present, you must go to immediate medical consultation.

The blood pressure is arterial pressure, while the hemorrhoidal disease is a venous disease. So, there is NOT relationship between these diseases.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
