Is this a parasite? I forced "something" to burst out of a dark blister (picture link)

It's been a while since I had this blister on my left elbow, around 2 months since I noticed it. It's color was dark like when skin is bruised but a bit darker. I tried to pop it when I noticed but nothing. It was discomforting to the touch but nothing else, and ignored it most of the time until today.
Before it popped today, every other day I felt kinda weird, mostly in the chest area. Abnormal heart beats, upper part of nose pressure, where blood flows or near, I'm not sure, but no nausea. Maybe short on breath but never felt weak when at work. Mainly, a lot of times I felt like I had low blood pressure and felt slightly lightheaded but nothing serious, and a weird feeling from the arm to the cheek as if losing sensibility.
Today doing some chores I felt the blister burning, I check it out and there's something hanging out of it, looked like a tiny wood splinter. I pull it out with my fingers and looking closely it resembled like a leg maybe, the form of a scythe. A few drops of blood later and a lot of pressure I feel a heavy pop. Something spheric and a lot thicker than blood starts to emerge and I manage to pull it out with some brow pliers I had around.
Was this a parasite? Am I at risk? I'm on a budget right now so I'd like to be sure before doing blood tests and everything else
