Hello, Zeba! How are you?

You are right to be concerned, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, such as Meloxicam, is usually contraindicated with high blood pressure and cardiac conditions, because it can cause elevated blood pressure and fluid retention that can lead to congestive heart failure, as listed by the NIH.

His doctor should be able to prescribed something else that would be safer for him to take.

Is there anything else I can help with?
