Indigestion, Heartburn, Jaw Ache. Taking Lisinopril For BP. High BP Due To Indigestion?

I take a 20 mg tablet of lisinopril daily for blood pressure and have done that approximately 10 years. I am a 49 year old woman. The last couple of weeks I have had terrible indigestion and heartburn and my jaws ache. I just took my blood pressure three separate times this morning (trying hard to relax) and it is averaging 165/135. It had been in the 120/80 range. Could having indigestion cause this?
