A member asked:
My dad has high blood pressure. he has started getting big itchy welts- not bug bites. could this be because of the high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: It could be due to the blood pressure meds he's taking. What you're describing could be unrelated, but it could also be a side effect of certain meds, particularly Hydralazine which is often used for BP treatment.
