Will Pepo Bismol Help To Lower Spike In Blood Pressure?

I m experiencing a spike in my blood pressure. I have infected sinuses & upset stomach & am constipated quite often, so I occasionally take a mild laxative. I took alka seltzer, but am not sure that was wise because of the sodium in it. Will taking pepto bismol help lower this spike in blood pressure?
