Codeine is converted by the liver into Morphine, which causes its pharmaceutical effects, Codeine itself it pharmaceutically inactive as it can't get into the brain. Morphine, like all Opioid painkillers causes the blood vessels to dilate and the blood pressure to drop. So Codeine will be perfectly safe for someone with normal or high blood pressure, but in people with low blood pressure extra caution should be taken when using Codeine.

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.
