What does it mean if blood is found in urine? it's a small amount that it's not visible to the human eye. What happens if the problem gets worse?

HOW is this related to high blood pressure?

If your doctor found blood in your urine, why didn't he explain what it meant? The most common problem is just a urinary tract infection. On occasion, those will clear themselves up but usually you'd need to take amoxycillin or similar for several days.

Blood in the urine can indicate some much more serious problems, but a UTI is the most common, and fortunately easiest to treat.

blood in the urine (haematuria) can be a sign of renal problems, and renal problems can also be the cause of hypertension.

Infection, kidney stones, cysts, renal masses, bladder stones or polyps, renal hypertension, any of these can cause blood in the urine. Did your doctor recommend some follow-up tests to discover the exact cause? Some of these problems are mild and easily cured but others can be very serious. I would ask the doctor for more information.
