Avatar n tn is it possible that acid reflux can be associate with stress and high blood pressure.
1246733 tn?1268691294 After an endoscopy it was discovered that I have acid reflux. I also was diagnosed with high blood pressure in 2010. I have a home blood pressure monitoring kit and sometimes notice spikes in my pressure (150/99) when I've consumed spicy or acidic foods. After taking acid reflux meds (prescription or over the counter) roughly one hour later my pressure returns to normal (120/80).
1927233 tn?1326670387 Could the sudden increase be related to whatever mysterious digestive issues I have, or possibly a side effect of nexium? I tried stopping the nexium for a few days and re-tested my blood pressure at the pharmacy, still 115/82, maybe it takes longer for nexium wear off, or maybe its not the cause. How concerning is this??? I realise 115/82 is still "normal", but considering my whole life my normal blood pressure has been very low, I think the sudden change might be serious.
Avatar n tn My thyroid levels were very similar to yours and it was discovered that I have a condition called Metabolic Syndrome, which is a cluster of conditions consisting of high blood pressure, high blood glucose (fasting blood glucose over 100 is impaired), high triglycerides or cholesterol, excess body fat around the waist. Having just one of the components doesn't qualify as Metabolic Syndrome; you must have at least 3 of them.
Avatar m tn M TAKING HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY LIVER?
Avatar m tn Hi, Im hoping to talk to a doctor about nexium. Im here on behalf of my girlfriend who recently started to take nexium for her stomach pains. She has been very hot at random times and has been nauseas at night. Her period was suppose to start yesterday but it has not yet and we are not sure as to why it has not. She had one episode of cramps this morning but it was very short and ended soon after.
Avatar n tn My doctor diagnosed me almost a year ago with "the worst case of acid reflux [she'd] ever seen." Literally, I would drink a glass of water and get reflux issues. I was put on Nexium for a long time, and I have since switched to Prilosec OTC because I ran out of health insurance. It's been about five days on Prilosec but I keep feeling nauseous in the morning after I take it, but it's nothing too bad and it goes away fairly quickly.
Avatar f tn Then soon after that my heart started racing and my chest started getting tight. I checked my blood pressure and it was 150/94 and heart rate was 114. I was really scared, but my blood pressure got up to 171/105 at its highest. I went to the er because i could not get myself to calm down. They found nothing wrong with my heart. They put it as a bad case of acid reflex even though i am already taking nexium.
Avatar f tn In addition, I have shaky hands and an overall jittery feeling inside. I tend to get pain and pressure in my jaw and on the side of my ear too. That comes and goes. Headaches have been plaguing me as well. I also cannot seem to gain weight and I am looking too thin. I oftentimes get cold sores or herpangina in my throat. I also take nexium for acid reflux and ibs and I have been on birth control for 6 years. I can barely function and I have been so miserable.
Avatar n tn severe major clinical depression, severe anxiety, severe constant fungal infections, homocysteine in imminent heart attack range, severe angina pain, severe stomach pain (nexium worsened her gastritis), sky high blood pressure - given less than 5 years to live by an international specialist. Good levels of stomach acid is essential to mental and physical health.
Avatar n tn t start having heartburn until I had taken Mobic for 4 or 5 months, in February of this year I went to the emergency room with chest pain and my blood pressure was 165/113, my blood pressure is usually 110/72. So I was a little concerned, they did lots of tests, x-ray, EKG, and came to the conclusion that it is was heartburn due to the mobic. The doctor prescribed nexium, which I have been taking ever since, and it seems to help with the chest pain.
Avatar f tn he is 35, doesnt drink, does chew tobacco, relatively active, is on medicine for high blood pressure, and has been for atleast 7 yrs. I just feel like the Dr. is missing something, I was curious about ulcers, his mother has diverticulitis, is it hereditary? Any answers would be helpful. Thanks!
Avatar f tn The only meds I take are a blood thinner and Nexium. My cramps occur after sitting and while sleeping.
Avatar n tn My name is Jim 52 year old have pvc,s very bad. I have had my hert tested two times by several test and it is normal no heart disease. My stomach does bother me all the time and my doctor has me on nexium. I get bloated all the time and as soon as I do the pvc's start and do not stop until the pressure goes away by belching, gas or the food slowly moves to my lower tract. I am diabled because of this and quality of life is poor.
Avatar f tn Turns out it was Nexium causing the palpitations and high blood pressure. I stopped taking it and my palpitations have reduced considerably and my blood pressure is now low. Nexium = poison!
Avatar n tn I have tried giving up different foods, acidic foods and beverages and nothing seems to help. I have had endoscopy, colonoscopy and ultra sound as well as blood work and everything comes out normal. I have tried Nexium, Asiphex and most other acid inhibitors but none seem to really help. I have been taking Nexium daily for about 4 months since it is the only one that gives me a little relief, but over all I constantly feel sick.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with GERD and Gastritis and have been taking Nexium and Zantac regularly. I have had an endoscopy in the last 2 years or so and only thing that was noted was some inflammation. I recently (3 weeks ago) started a new diet plan called Transitions that is based on the low glycemic index and high protein. The basis is to eat protein with every meal so your blood sugar stabilizes throughout the day and you no longer crave sweets etc.
Avatar n tn s, I have been placed on Atenolol which has been increased to 50 mg QAM and 25 QHS, I have been placed on zantac 150 mg BID and nexium 40 mg BID (have been on Nexium for about 10 days). PVC's are almost totally gone but the chest pressure is there daily from approx. 11:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. The only relief that I get from the chest pressure is to lie on my stomach (weird right). When my doc put me on nexium I felt great for about 4 days, the pressure came back and is still with me today.
915119 tn?1341948989 if your blood pressure is too high it restricts the blood vessels and can stop baby from getting enough blood and oxygen. if it gets extremely high it can cause seizures. are you seeing spots or having blurred vision? I agree with bjbbeauchamp, try nor to stress! and if it goes up any more then go to L&D! its better to be safe than sorry! I have had HORRIBLE swelling in my legs for months now, but no protein in my urine until the other week.
Avatar n tn I am 35 years old and never thought I had HIgh Blood pressure until recently. As I am into my higher studies, when visiting the doctor for a fall, they told me I had high pressure readings of 160/110. My pulse was also high, ( I was diagnosed with tachycardia some years ago which was again put down to stress.) They put it down to anxiety and stress, and gave me atenenol 25 mg. Since then I have developed a fear, and my pulse raises whenever the doctor checks my pressure, and my pressure is high.
Avatar f tn 2wks tomorrow since surgery and still have tingle in feet and hands,and blood pressure still not going down,was 146/97 today. I just dont understand to be like 97/72 up till i fall asleep for surgery and to wake up this high,and stay that way. Dr says he dont know what to do next,what it could be. I know this cant be good to go on now with this high of blood pressure and nothing done about it. I dont know where to turn to next.
Avatar m tn 4 years ago after the birth of my child I was on 4 different medications. Today none, and my blood pressure is 100/60. All the ideas mammo gave you on exercise, low salt diet and more is what helped me get off medications and get my BP back on track. It isnt good to walk around with uncontrolled blood pressure so for sure get in as soon as you can and get things sorted around with your doctor.
Avatar f tn I have had high blood pressure my whole pregnancy, often as high as 170s/100. I was put on meds and told modified bed rest last week at 35w5d. Ihave not had to do urone collection as when it spikes they make me come back the following 2days for checks and urine samples. If it os still high this week at my 36w5d appt while on the meds i think they will probably put me on full bed rest until i deliver.
Avatar m tn I am a 58 year old female and my question is about high blood pressure and sex. While I understand blood pressure rises during sex I wonder if it is normal to get a sudden onset pounding migraine. This is new the last two times at climax. I was curious and checked my blood pressure the last time and it was 160/88. The headache is sudden and severe and remains for hours after. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Avatar f tn I went in at 35 weeks and 4 days and my blood pressure was high and they gave me meds and did a 24 hour urine test but during the night, even on the meds my blood pressure got to 180/110 and they c sectioned my baby that day.
