Is Food Poisoning When Suffering From Hypertention Life Threatning?

My husband who is hardly every sick, came down with the stomach cramps, no desire to eat, loose stools, no vomiting, farts smell like someone died inside, has indigestion, urky feeling, cant burp. Has drank 7-up, Gatorade, minimal eating, mostly soup, broth, toast. No fever. My husband has hypertension and takes lysinpril. Should I worry, or is it the intestinal flu??

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having acute gastro-enteritis giving this problem.
Give him Ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination medicine for 3 days.
Give him plenty of water, electrolytes and ORS liquid to prevent dehydration.
give him light diet like curd, rice, buttermilk.
Ok and take care.
