Brief Answer:
it may raise the blood pressure

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

NSAID like meloxicam may raise the blood pressure and may also get your kidneys into danger for toxicity and permanent damage, particularly with drugs that alter the normal blood supply to them, like diuretics, ACE inhibitors and angiotension receptor blockers. In most of the cases using them for a few days does not cause serious problems. You should watch your blood pressure though...

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
