Yes indeed!

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. It is made up of sodium, hydrogen and carbon. Of these three elements, the sodium is of particular concern with regard to blood pressure. According to the American Heart Association, 1 teaspoon of baking soda contains 1,000 mg sodium.

It can, but I can't think of any direct mechanism for baking soda and water to reduce blood pressure per se.

If you are experiencing painful heartburn and this mixture resolves the heartburn your blood pressure will likely go down. If you spilled sulphuric acid on your skin and apply this mixture to the area to neutralize the acid the pain reduction may lower your blood pressure. Anything I can think of that allows for baking soda and water to reduce blood pressure is not by a direct process of that mixture reducing blood pressure. Reduction of pain (physical or psychological) is the only route I can think of that would.

So no, it won't reduce your blood pressure in and of its self.

Does baking soda raise your PH in your body?

Baking soda does raise your blood pressure. Since Baking soda raises blood pressure and if your blood pressure is high then there will be a higher diffusion of Nutrients, O2, Proteins at the arterial end of the capillary into the Interstitial Fluid due to a higher pressure gradient and thus at the venous end of the capillary a low concentration of CO2 (produced by the cells) will diffuse from the interstitial fluid into the venous end of the capillary. So overall the dissolved CO2 in the blood will be low. So how does CO2 relate to pH? we know that CO2 combines with H2O to form Carbonic Acid; Carbonic Acid in turn disassociates to form H+ and HCO3- CO2 + H20 --> H2CO3 --> H+ + HCO3- Since the CO2 level in the blood is low there will be Less H+ in the blood and therefore the pH of the blood will be high, Causing Alkalosis.
