Covid-19 may cause high blood pressure in those previously unaffected by the disorder, a new study suggests.
The ‘alarming’ research found that of more than 45,000 patients attending hospital due Covid with no history of hypertension, a significant number went on to develop high blood pressure within six months.
In addition, people over 40, men, Black adults and those with a range of pre-existing conditions had an elevated risk of developing the condition.
The study, published in the journal Hypertension, analysed the records of patients presenting at hospital with Covid and influenza in the Bronx, a large, racially and ethnically diverse population.

Critical info missing: How many were vaxxed?
And what were the age groups? Didn't see a reference in my quick skim-through of the article. Some cases of hypertension are bound to be age-related. My Mom, for example, never had it until she hit her 70s.

And if they weren’t vaxxed, did they really have “covid”?
