Hi,
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Asad Riaz, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

The only way a high blood pressure or medicines taken for it may affect or cause heel pain is if the patient is on diuretics and his uric acid levels rise due to those and even in that case heel pain is a very atypical presentation.
Since you re not on those drugs, its perfectly safe to assume that the two are unrelated
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fascitis which is inflammation of a thin sheath or membrane underlying the foot muscles. The pain is typically more in first few steps and then partially abates.
For that you need to take oral nsaids in addition to gels
Naproxen 550 mg taken after meals twice a day for as long as pain lasts is going to help
You can also rest and splont the affected area
I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.

Regards.

Dr.Asad Riaz.
