I took vitamin D with fish and primrose oil and potasium, and had the worst case of high blood pressure ever. I thought my head was about to explode!
I don’t know what you mean by explode, did you have a headache? How do you know you’re blood pressure was high? Go to a place like a drug store or your doctor to get your blood pressure checked before assuming that you have high blood pressure.
Here are few ways to bring it down.
Lay off the salt, these vitamins unless they are salt base which I doubt they are won’t cause your blood pressure to raise. But eating salty foods and a few other factors will. Read the link below.

Vitamin D is very important. I am not sure why you take Evening Primrose Oil. I take it for my own reasons. Check the site given to read about it.
Do you take a daily walk and / or practice relaxation exercises? That could help, but it takes time.
