Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, acidity and gastritis can not cause hypotension directly.
In my opinion, you are mostly having stress and anxiety related symptoms.
Stress and anxiety can cause GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) which causes gastritis and acidity.
And this stress and anxiety also causes high pulse rate, hypertension. But this is not permanent, similar to your case.
When you are stressed, you will have gastritis, acidity, high pulse rate and hypertension, all together.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
