Its like apples and oranges, two completely different things.
Blood pressure is a measurement of the amount of arterial pressure it takes to pump your blood through your body.
Cholesterol is a type of fat that clogs your arteries and puts you at risk for heart disease and also high blood pressure.
I don’t know how you got the egg idea, but there is no reason for you to quit eating them.
High blood pressure is hereditary to a certain point because there are actually many things that you can do to help prevent it. Keep your weight down, don’t smoke, and maintain a diet that is low in saturated fats. Also, exercise regularly.

Blood pressure is the pressure your heart is putting out to pump your blood. If its high, its a strain on the heart because its working harder.
Cholesterol is crap that builds up inside the arteries. When you consume it and it goes into your bloodstream, sometimes it sticks to and builds up on the walls of the artery and makes the diameter of the artery smaller and smaller until its clogged. At that point blood can’t pass through and there is a heart attack.
eggs affect cholesterol because they are high in cholesterol. If you have problems you should avoid them and if you don’t have problems you should not eat them in excess.
