Can high blood pressure medication cause heartburn and acid reflux?

Yes, a medication for high blood pressure can sometimes cause stomach upset and acid reflux in less than 1% of patients. If you are experiencing a lot of heartburn, you may want to consider taking Gaviscon, Zantac, or Olex™, which are over-the-counter medications that can help alleviate these symptoms. It's also worth checking if you have eaten any irritant foods in the past few days.
