Q: can bronchitis cause spikes in blood pressure that can increase the size of an ascending aortic aneurysm?

: Bronchitis should not raise your blood pressure unless you take some OTC medication(s) for upper respiratory symptoms which contain pseudoephedrine. Furthermore, a transient spike in blood pressure less likley increase the size of an aortic aneurysm. Take care.
