Does Excessive Gas Cause Elevated BP?
My BP is high and my chest feels heavy. I believe it's gas because of the small bowl of navy beans i consumed. I took antacids but to no relief. Does BP always rise when filled with gas? It's steadily going up: First it was 137/85...then 142/90 and now its 154/104.

welcome to hcm
gas does not give rise to raised bp but raised bp may cause gas
as per allopathy we donot believe that gas increases bp though ayurved says so
now some foods or stress can raise bp but level will be upto 10 mmHg maximum
please take care of your bp
it should not be above 140/90 if so you have to take drug as losartan or telmisartan ..avoid amlodipine as it will cause more gastric discomfort
go for morning or evening walk and avoid fried salty foods plus smoking alcohal ..these will help your bp and gas
for gas rale tab pentprazole 40 mg two times for 5 days then one for 10 days on empty stomach
but be cautious about BP
if you have any further query then you come back to hcm i will definitely help you
