Now he is home with new bp meds and blood pressure elevated 178/110 and pain are back in his back. He fell a couple of weeks ago and dangled from a truck. My question is can the fall be the cause of the elevated blood pressure.

Hello,
Definitely no. Sudden fall doesn’t elevate Bp in any person. It may be hereditary and due to lifestyle changes. Take prop medicine and have some physical activity along with peace of mind.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
