Can reflux esophagitis cause elevated blood pressure?

Reflux esophagitis does not usually cause an increase in blood pressure. Because reflux esophagitis is a chronic gastric disease, it tends to cause damage to the throat, esophagus and other parts of the body, which can easily cause patients to experience symptoms such as acid belching, sore throat, nausea and vomiting. The cause of high blood pressure is usually related to prolonged smoking and drinking, or excessive mood swings, as well as bad dietary habits, exercise factors, or staying up too late and overworking, and some other factors. However, if GERD patients have mood swings and pain, it may cause a transient increase in blood pressure, mainly due to mood swings and pain. In this case, the patient should pay attention to mood changes, eat small and frequent meals, avoid foods high in calories and fats, and eat fresh vegetables and fruits. If patients with reflux esophagitis have high blood pressure, they need to go to the hospital immediately to find out the main cause of high blood pressure, and actively treat the primary lesion.
