My father never had high blood pressure until recently.  This started happening after he was mowing the grass and got bit by something and it grew into a bullseye in which he had to be hospitalized.  They tested him and dont know what bit him.  Can a bit of any sort cause recurring hypertension?
Hello, thanks for posting a question. I understand your concern towards your dads issue with hypertension. There is no need to worry. Getting bit by an insect does not directly cause hypertension, but the emotional distress he encountered during the duration of events could increase his blood pressure. I have experienced patients that had hypertension shortly after a scorpion bite, but hypertension subsided a few days after. I wish your dad a quick recovery. Best regards
