Hi

Thanks for posting your query

Gas and indigestion is usually caused by either gastritis and/or collitis

If you have burning pain in chest take some antacid and if need be apdd a cap of Rabeprazole

If you have loose stools add a probiotic and if need be add ofloxacillin

All the other symptoms appear stress related , manage your stress levels by mediatation and yoga

Regarding Revolol Xl a physician would be in a better position to reply, yet I would suggest recoerd your bp twice a day for five to seven days and even after that it remains high consult a physician and start medicines

My final word will be a word of reassurace

Hope this helps
