What Causes Hiccups And Nausea While Being On BP Medication?
My husband is 55 yrs old,5 7 tall and weighs about 190. He has mild COPD and takes High Blood Pressure medicine of Benazepril 20mg once a day. He just took one Zyrexin 525mg. He s experiencing nausea that is fading but is hiccuping and causing him to have a hard time eating. He also feels jittery. What to do for him?

Hi
Hiccups and nausea are not specific side effects of Benazepril. However, Zyrexin is know for nausea/vomiting.The reflexes that bring about vomiting and hiccups are the same.So, both symptoms are more likely caused by Zyrexin not BP medication.I know he is feeling bad.you can get metoclopramide for him, advice him to eat in bits and slowly.
Stay blessed
