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.
Codeine and caffeine may pose risks for hypertensive patients. Codeine, an opioid, can cause sedation and respiratory depression, but it typically does not significantly affect blood pressure. Caffeine, on the other hand, is a stimulant that can temporarily elevate blood pressure in some individuals. Therefore, hypertensive patients should consult their healthcare provider before using medications containing caffeine and codeine to assess safety and potential interactions with their blood pressure management.
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.

Codeine itself does not typically affect a breathalyzer test, as these tests are designed to measure blood alcohol content (BAC) and not the presence of drugs like codeine. However, codeine is an opioid and can impair judgment and reaction times, which might affect overall driving ability. It's important to avoid driving under the influence of any medication that can impair your faculties, regardless of its effect on breathalyzer results.
Yes it does cause a small rise in blood pressure.
it does affect the blood vessels causing the blood vessels to build up with plaque causing hypertension (high blood pressure)
Your blood pressure will lower because less blood will be pumped into your system by the heart
