Can High BP Medicines Result In Strange Sensations In Abdomen?

For the past 5 days I have been having what feels like a baby moving in my stomach. I only feel the movement on the left side of my stomach at the top of my ribs just below my breast. I know that I am not pregnant, got those parts taken out over 10 years ago. I m 49, 5 2 1/2 , 194 lbs. I currently take 3 different medications for high blood pressure, and hormone medication.

Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
Your symptoms resemble flatulence or gaseous distention of the stomach. It is caused by gas trapping inside the stomach which forms bubbles leading to such sensation and bloating of abdomen.
It can be caused by acid reflux (acidity) and improper eating. When you eat very fast, you tend to swallow air with the food leading to gas inside the stomach. My advice to you is to eat slowly and in small quantities in short intervals. This will decrease some of your symptoms. You should also take a course of antacids for 14 days twice daily before food.
Medications and their interactions can also cause such symptoms. So if your symptoms don't subside despite being the above measures, then you must get your medications changed or adjusted.
