You keep the patch on for 24 hours and it slowly administers small amounts of nicotine into the body. It helps with the sensation of "needing" cigarettes. Also, the 21mg patches are not meant for someone that smokes lightly. They were made for people who are smoking a pack a day that cannot curb their addiction using cold turkey.
You can get addicted to the patches if you dont do them right.

But wash your hands after handling cigarette smelling clothes.

In addition, whether it is caused by the patch or not, drastic increases in blood pressure can be deadly. See your doctor and tell him/her all that is going on, including wearing the patch. Your doctor will be able to evaluate the situation.
