Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that pepto bismol can be helpful against nausea in your clinical situation.

Regarding high blood pressure, it has no effect on blood pressure.

So, there is nothing to worry about.

If your symptoms do not improve from this drug, I would recommend trying metoclopramide (Reglan).

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
