Hi,
No, black mold has not got any significant effect on BP. It may be related to your stress or change in diet etc. But black mold has multiple harmful effects like infection, lung problems. So you should take all possible measures to prevent exposure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
