Brief Answer:
Drug induced stomach upset.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the stomach upset.

The drug Aleve is known to cause stomach upset which can be prevented by taking Nexium.

Since you have a normal blood sugar level, you are advised to check your BP, sometimes a fall in BP may be associated with the feeling of cold, other wise nothing to worry about it.

Continue to take the medications as prescribed by your treating doctor.
Wishing you a very smooth recovery.

Regards.
