So been on my BP med Losartan-Hydrochlorothiazide 50-12.5 for a week.
Blood pressure is near normal. Pretty excited how well this has worked.
Another weird thing is that my acid reflux is gone. I have been on PPI for like 2 years straight. If I forget to take my Prilosec the next day, by night intense acid reflux.
I forgot to take it for 2 days.
It's been 4 days and no acid reflux.
Typically with BP meds, and dilation of bood vessels ect... people may get Acid Reflux or GERD due to relaxation of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter.
Well, not the case for me. I am hoping this isn't a fluke. This means I won't need anything done hopefully when I get my endoscopy.
I have seen some studies that link high blood pressure to GERD... but most are speaking on GERD instances causing high blood pressure.
Anyone got any idea why my acid reflux is not showing up? I've been carrying this prilosec pill around just in case. But haven't needed it.
