Yes, high blood pressure can effect erections. High blood pressure damages the heart and blood vessels, which makes it more difficult for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.

A penis requires a lot of blood to achieve and maintain an erection. Men with high blood pressure may find it difficult to maintain an erect penis during sex, or may suffer from ED and not be able achieve an erection at all.

Erection problems are usually a symptom of a physical or mental issue.

At least 3 possible mechanism;
1. High blood pressure can damage vessels.

2. An erection depends on a blood pressure differential in penis and body. The higher your
blood pressure the harder it is to maintain that differential in pressure.

3. A dysfunction in nitric oxide production, release, or action could be related to some cases of high blood pressure and ED.

Does Paine medications raise blood pressure?

Opioid based painkillers (such as morphine, codeine etc...) have an anti-hypertensive effect (blood pressure lowering effect); however the effect is only visible on quite high dosages, which can create other side-effects, hence why opiates are not used to control high blood pressure. NSAIDS (such as ibuprofen) in most people do not have a measurable effect on blood-pressure either way. Paracetamol also does not affect blood-pressure.

What is in blood that carries red blood cells?

The blood is not as such being carried, but is forced to move by arteries with high pressure. This is generated by the arteries thick walls trying to keep the high pressure going. The 'floating/carried' effect would be given by plasma in the blood stream. This makes up 90% of the blood and will give off the effect that the blood is just sitting there.
