Does Smoking Methamphetamine Cause Elevated BP?

I just found out that someone had been putting meth in my e-cigarette when I was smoking them. They just passed of congestive heart failure. I have been having high blood pressure since around that time and seems like I stay congested. Could this be the reason?
