Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Some of the medications used in bronchitis like steroids or bronchodilators may lead to increased BP which may be the cause in your husband's case.

I suggest you consult a doctor because this high BP is certainly not advisable to have and some medication alteration and other interventions are required for controlling his BP.
