What Causes Nausea And Abdominal Discomfort While On Benezapril For High BP?

I am have had nausea without vomiting and discomfort in my upper stomach for about 3 weeks now, with other symptoms of weakness in my arms and shakey feeling in them and my hands. At first I thought I was getting the flu, but I didn t. It kind of went away after the first week...and lingered on and off the second week. The last couple of days its worse. I went to the ER last night cause my husband insisted on taking me when he came home from work. They did blood work, urine, EKG and gave me a shot for nausea and sent me home with a prescription I am waiting for my husband to pick up for me. I am 49, rarely get sick. I take Benezapril 20 mg for high bp which has been excellent. My stomach doesn t burn. I don t have acid reflux. When I get heartburn on occasion, I take tums, and I am fine. Gallbladder disease doesn t run in my family. We all ours. I had an emergency hysterectomy age 37 due to a huge tumor that could have cancerous. It wasn t a fibroid. I also had stage 4 endometriosis. Any thoughts why my stomach is so nauseaus? Thank you.

Hello,

There are 2 main things we should investigate in your case in order to determine the right diagnosis:

- endometriosis
- gastrointestinal problems

So, although no family history of gallbladder, you should check it out together with running upper endoscopy for your stomach.

Gastroenterologist to consult in this case as this has been going on for 3 weeks now.

Plus, should monitor your Bp, record the results for reference. A gynecologist should also consult to check your genital tract too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
