Brief Answer:
No vaporizer can not cause this.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, I don't think vaporizer can cause high pressure.
But in my opinion, you should consult doctor and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for hypertension.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can cause rise in blood pressure.
So please let me know if you have stressful life.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
