Alginate and blood pressure (and Evenity?)
For more than 15 years I took omeprazole. Due to my recent osteoporosis diagnosis I managed to quit and take 1 tbsp Gaviscon Advance alginate before going to bed instead (and Pepcid once in a while during flare ups of heartburn). I'm having an increase in blood pressure lately and wonder if the salt in the alginate might be causing it?
I just had my 6th Evenity injection and when going to bed I experienced loud heartbeat and dizziness and probably high blood pressure (was too messed up to measure my blood pressure). However this incident stopped after 90 minutes. I still have 6 more months with Evenity and don't want to quit and to lose my gains... Other than this incident I had no problems with Evenity. I plan to place the injections into the thighs next month instead into the stomach, maybe that will prevent such a future incident.
So I wonder - as my BP has been a increased lately if it might be the salt in the alginate...
