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.
