Why Does My Friend Who Has HBP Suffer From Abdominal Pain?

I have a friend who has high blood pressure and is on tablets for this but he keeps complaining of stomach ache and thinks it is to do with the tablets so has not taken them for 2 days but he looks quite ill and stands bent over with the pain in his stomach. Do you think it is his blood pressure getting worse or a side effects of the tablets?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is neither due to high blood pressure nor due to the tablets.

The pain in abdomen which causes the person to be pale and ill; and makes one stand bent over is a serious pain. Unless proved otherwise this indicates that there is an inflammatory process going on in the abdomen like appendicitis or so.
He needs to see a Surgeon immediately , to be examined by the Specialist to see there is tenderness and rebound tenderness. undergo immediate investigations as 2 days have already gone with the pain.
Needs Standing X-ray abdomen to rule out gas under diaphragm, ultrasonography and may be a CT Scan to see what is wrong.

He may need an urgent exploratory abdominal surgery.
