Brief Answer:
Gas in stomach and Blood pressure is not related.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.

I have gone through your query. Gas accumulation in stomach and Blood pressure is not related.
You can get head ache when your stomach is filled with gas or gastritis. It is a reflux. Some will get nausea also along with head ache.

In such case you should get treated for gastritis with proton pump inhibitors like rabeprazole for 2 to 4 weeks.


You should get a regular BP check. If more variation is there in your BP levels then it can be due to anxiety.
In such case anxiolytics like alprazolam and relaxing exercises like breathing exercises help. If that is also not helping then Betablockers will be needed.

Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
